Bally embroiled in murder mystery, four suspects being questioned.
Williamstown, NY – A mysterious murder took place late Friday evening at Tony’s Palace, the nation’s premier casino. Ace investigator Nick Spade is on the case which has shocked this gambling metropolis. Police are rounding up the usual suspects.
“Several people seen at the casino around the time of the murder are wanted for questioning,” said Police Commander Joe Dillon.
Detective Spade says he has information which could lead him to the murderer. Explaining that time is of the essence, Spade said, “If I could only hit a pair on the slot, I could get a Second Chance.”
Nick Spade pointed out that this is no ordinary pinball game. Beyond the casino features, there’s still the challenge to solve a murder mystery. “WHO dunnit is an engaging mystery to solve,” Spade added. “You need to combine clues you discover with background information on each of the four suspects to close the case.”
A mysterious murder. One victim. Four suspects. Twenty possible scenarios. Who has the motive? Who has the skill?
