The quaint town of Wells-next-the-Sea has been rocked by a shocking event-the beloved local fisherman, Earl E Bird, has disappeared without a trace. As a celebrated member of the community, Earl E's fresh catches have delighted residents for years, but now he's gone, and no one knows why.

Initial investigations suggest that Earl E may have had a hidden past involving smuggling, and suspicions are rising. That's why we need YOU, our top detectives, to help us unravel the clues and solve this fishy mystery.
