A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Yorkshire Dales
The peaceful Yorkshire Dales have been rocked by a series of strange events. Three locals have been targeted in the past 12 hours, the latest victim being Penny Ghent. With no apparent connection between the victims, the police are on high alert, fearing that anyone in the area could be next. Detective Chief Inspector Lynn Gull-Borough and their assistant Detective Vern Side have been assigned to the case, but their progress has been slow. Just when they think they're making headway, everything takes a turn for the worse. Have they hit a dead end? Could this be the end of their careers? They need fresh detectives (that's you!) to take on this challenge and unravel the mystery. Can YOU follow the clues and unmask the suspect before they strike again?
