Curtain Call
A Jazz Age Murder at the Footlights
Opening night, 1926. The Aurelia Theatre glitters with gold leaf and champagne, and all of fashionable New York has come to see Maxwell Drake — the most celebrated leading man on Broadway — open in "The Gilded Cage." But when the houselights rise for intermission, Drake is found dead in his dressing room, slumped beneath the bulbs of his lighted mirror. Three people had reason to want him gone, and only one had the chance to do it. A short, glittering taster — solve it in twenty minutes, and see if you have the nerve for the full season of mysteries.
The Last Voyage of the Helena Star
A Maritime Murder Mystery
November 15, 1987. The cargo vessel Helena Star limps into Port Marsten after a grueling North Atlantic crossing. Captain Edward Blackwood is found dead in his locked cabin, the victim of an apparent poisoning. The port authority has sealed the ship and detained all six crew members. Someone aboard this vessel is a killer — and the truth lies buried in the ship's logs, personal letters, and the secrets these sailors carry. Piece together the evidence, unravel the lies, and identify the murderer before the case goes cold.
Blood on the Silver Spur
A Wild West Murder Mystery
September 1884. In the silver-mining boomtown of Cerro Plata, Arizona Territory, the most powerful man in three counties lies dead on the floor of his own office above the saloon. Augustus Thorne owned the mine, the saloon, half the deeds in town, and the contempt of nearly everyone in it. A pistol lies near his hand and the room reeks of gun smoke — but the town doctor says it was no bullet that killed him. Six souls had reason to want Gus Thorne in the ground. Sift through the telegrams, ledgers, claims, and sworn statements the marshal has gathered, and run the killer to ground before the stage carries them clear of the Territory.
The Glass Tower
A Silicon-Age Murder Mystery
Saturday, May 23, 2026. The night after Lumen AI's pre-IPO investor gala, founder and CEO Marcus Vale is found dead in his penthouse atop the company's gleaming Glass Tower headquarters. At first it looks like the pressure finally broke him — a fall, a collapse, a tragedy on the eve of the biggest tech listing of the year. But the building Marcus built remembers everything: every badge swipe, every smart-lock entry, every message, every rideshare receipt. Seven people had reason to want him gone, and the most obvious one looks airtight guilty. Sift the digital wreckage, separate the frame from the fact, and name the killer — before the markets open and the truth gets buried under a billion dollars.
