The Story
The clock has turned midnight and I was just about to leave my office when there was a knock on my door. It was a Mr. Swan, owner of the Swanline shipping company.
He explained that his wife was missing and the police had told him that, "Unless they can prove outright that there was an involuntary disappearance, then they'll just file the paperwork and forget about it."
He said he'd pay me a grand upfront if I could find his wife by morning, no questions asked. That may be a suspiciously large reward for a simple missing-person case, but I haven't had that many jobs lately and my purse is getting thin, so who am I to ask questions?
Sam Mallard: The Case Of The Missing Swan, is to be considered as an introduction to adventures, and can be completed even by the total novice, without too much frustration.
See if you can beat it in under thirty minutes. The clock is ticking...!
