A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Turriff

Something strange is happening in the town of Turriff. Last night, renowned government environmental expert, Dr Paul Ooshun, was found unconscious in his hotel room. The police suspect foul play, as Dr Ooshun had been conducting top secret research in the area. But what could have caused his sudden illness?

Rumours are swirling that Dr Ooshun's research could lead to a major change in the town-every cow in the north east area would be required to wear special padded slippers while being herded onto trucks. The reason? To cut down on noise pollution, a major problem in the area! But with DCI Boe Vine and his team at odds, it's up to YOU to crack the case and uncover the truth behind Dr Ooshun's mysterious disappearance.
