About this quest
Sanford, 1915. The sun is high, and your vacation has just begun—until a knock on the door changes everything.
You are Detective Eugene Sprat, and a murderer has escaped. Bufford Womble slipped through the cracks just hours after being sentenced, and now he’s loose in town. The sheriff needs your help, and time is running out.
