The prizefight in the back room of the Velvet Door drew four hundred bettors and twenty thousand dollars. The champion, never once knocked down in his career, went down in the third round to a man nobody had heard of — and was heard laughing in the dressing room.

Roaring Twenties: case 10

This Medium case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 18 of them carry a clue; the other 2 only have something to say about themselves. 1 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 10 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
