The Commodore's Cup Goes Under
A regatta club on race day
The briefing
You arrive at the club as the crowds mill about the pontoons. Five people had the run of the grounds, the Commodore is furious, and the sponsor is waiting. You have been called to find out who took the cup.
The Commodore's Cup, the club's silver championship trophy, was found gone at four o'clock, just as the prize-giving was due to begin. Only its empty velvet cushion was left behind.
The suspects
- Barnaby Quill, Race Officer
- Cora Hastings, Bar Manager
- Desmond Pike, Boatwright
- Elspeth Marlowe, Sailmaker
- Felix Ortega, Commodore's Secretary
