Follow the story our intrepid reporter, Laura Bow, in the latest installment of the class point-n-click murder mystery series, originally created by Sierra Online. An official sequel to The Colonel's Bequest and The Dagger of Amon Ra... we pick back up shortly after the events of those stories, for a brand new adventure!
After a mysterious package arrives at the offices of The New York Daily Register News Tribune, an unlikely chain of events sends Laura Bow off on the biggest story that their little newspaper has ever seen.
A long journey, an elaborate ruse, a life changing invention, and many dangerous motives for murder... Can Laura Bow solve the mystery and survive to tell about it?
This is a story rich adventure, with detailed conversations, interactions, and puzzles - all wrapped up in 1920s historical fiction, all centered around a real world event.
