London, 1921. You are in the East End for leisure, planning to take in its unvarnished charm. Your reputation as an investigator precedes you, however. Word has got around that you are in town, and the local folk know all about your particular knack for solving a mystery.

So much for a leisurely stroll. Your curiosity is piqued.
