The Mysterious Disappearance of Harry Tidge

Early one morning, the residents of Leicester were shocked to find local historian, Harry Tidge, crumpled near the statue of King Richard III. Harry had been working on his latest book, which made some bold claims about famous historical figures hailing from Leicester. But someone clearly didn't like his theories, as Harry was found unconscious with no memory of what happened. It's up to YOU to investigate the clues and uncover the truth!
