The Burryman's Last Dance - A Curious Case in South Queensferry

South Queensferry is a town steeped in history and tradition, but today it is shrouded in grief. Local businessman and beloved Burryman, Stephen Barr, has been found collapsed in his townhouse, covered in a blanket of burdock heads. Without the Burryman, the town's luck may be washed away. But that's not all - Barr has been linked to a rumoured takeover bid of the local ferry company, the town's lifeline, which may now collapse without his support.

DCI Lauren Order is baffled by the suspicious circumstances surrounding Barr's demise. She needs TOP Detectives to trawl through the evidence and reveal the guilty party responsible for silencing Barr. Will YOU take on this curious case?
