The Mystery of Coaly Tyne's Disappearance
The canny folk of Shields are in a frenzy! Renowned local busker, Coaly Tyne, has vanished without a trace.

Chief Inspector Nee Ideyar has reached out to TOP Detectives for help in solving the mystery. Will YOU and your team of super sleuths be able to crack the case and catch the culprit? The fate of Shields Ferry rests in your hands!
