The Cinder Track
In the 1930s, the charming Lady Lah-de-Dah was a regular on the train between Scarborough and Ravenscar. On one fateful journey, the train was plunged into darkness, and when the lights came back on, Lady Lah-de-Dah's precious diamond engagement ring was gone! Despite an extensive investigation, the thief was never found, and the ring's whereabouts remain a mystery. But now, historian Luke Indypast has discovered a diary with clues to the ring's location. Are YOU ready to join the search?
