The Vanishing Captain's Cup
A quiet golf club on trophy night
The briefing
You arrive at the clubhouse as dinner jackets and cocktail dresses crowd the hall in confusion. The committee wants this settled quietly before the speeches. Four people had the run of the building during the blackout, and each has a story to tell you.
The Captain's Cup, the club's heavy silver trophy, was due to be presented at the annual trophy night dinner. When the committee went to fetch it from its display case at nine o'clock, the Cup was gone.
The suspects
- Margot Fenwick, Club secretary
- Rupert Haldane, Club captain
- Dolores Quince, Bar manager
- Tobias Wren, Head greenkeeper
