This autumn seven well-off gentlemen have woken in the alleys behind North Clark Street with sore heads, no memory of the night and no wallets. Each had spent his last remembered hour at the Velvet Door, over a single gin rickey.

Roaring Twenties: case 19

This Hard case seats 20 suspects on a 4×5 grid. 15 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 6 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 19 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
