Eccentric billionaire steam mop mogul Dallas McAllen has been murdered! And in his own home, no less, while a great party raged on. With 30 suspects and clues galore (some helpful, others less so) only Sadie Dufresne–an Inspector of the Royal Knights order (shorthand: IRK), one of the highest ranking detectives in all the land–can be trusted to solve the mystery. But she’ll need your help. So, what do you say? Will you help IRK Dufresne crack the case?
IRK Dufresne needs to clear her head. She’s confused. She’s frustrated. And moreover, she’s tired.
In the kitchen, she finds the coffee pot full and pours herself a cup. Just one teaspoon of sugar and a splash of cream. That’s how she takes it.
Only, she never gets to the cream.
Because, in the sugar pot, she finds a crumpled-up post-it. At the bottom, a red speck. Could be blood. Could be an ink spill. Sadie’s not sure, and what’s more, she’s not sure about the note’s content either.
It says only, “Mel --> release valve, Dublin?”
Why is it here, she wonders. And what does it mean? And could it be related at all to the murder?
