Three favourites in a week have finished last at Hawthorne Park, coughing and wheezing, and each was found afterwards with a sponge pushed up one nostril. Every horse is guarded from its stable to the starting gate.

Roaring Twenties: case 11

This Medium case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 16 of them carry a clue; the other 4 only have something to say about themselves. 4 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 11 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
