The Long Sleeves
Rookie — a single physical spine, and the case teaches you how to work it.
Maria Strix, an owl, was found dead in her own front room on Thursday evening with a kitchen knife in her back. The window of that room, which looks onto the lane at the side of the house, is broken. Four people who live in these streets have been brought in. The man who would not stop asking her out. The man with the cut arm. Her best friend. Her husband. One of them was in that room. That is the whole of what you have been given.
Who is in the house
- Mark Aquila — Warehouseman, 6 Wren Street's neighbour
- Chris Ovis — Delivery driver, two streets over
- Debby Cavia — Maria's oldest friend, school secretary
- Willy Serpens — Maria's husband, insurance clerk
You may take 3 of them into the interrogation room. Choosing which is most of the game.
