A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Rutland Water
Local residents were shocked to learn of the sudden demise of wealthy local banker, Robin Crook. He was recently discovered in a rather precarious position on the walls of the dam at Empingham. Rumours of his shady past have surfaced, and it seems he may have had more than a few crooked connections throughout Rutland. Was foul play involved in his sudden withdrawal? DCI Lauren Order certainly thinks so, and she needs the help of some top bankable detectives (YOU!) to follow the trail of evidence and reveal the culprit.
