A mystery is waiting to be solved in
St Neots
It's complete mayhem at the local police station! The station's star detective, Chief Inspector Saha Truncheon, has finally solved the 1983 St Neots High School kidnap case and is ready to present the evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service so that an arrest warrant can be issued. Unfortunately his 'bag man', Detective Constable Han Kuffs, whilst moving the evidence files of this and over a dozen other cases, tripped down the stairs and all the paperwork has got muddled up. Kuffs' only option is to re-examine, and revisit, all the clues that led to the identification of the kidnapper. Before tomorrow! Unfortunately, Kuffs is in court in London all day giving evidence so he is reaching out to his best detective consultants to save his skin - are you up to the task?
