A hospital charity ball in a converted Victorian infirmary

The briefing

You arrive as the string quartet falls silent. The hospital's director has locked the doors and kept four guests in the ballroom. Each had access to Sir Aubrey, and each is eager to be believed. You have been called to find the truth before the police arrive.

Sir Aubrey Lindqvist, the hospital's chief benefactor, was found dead behind the ballroom's stage curtain at 11:40 pm, moments after he was due to announce the evening's grand donation. He had been killed by someone at the ball.
