Collect clues, analyze them, confirm evidence or reject false leads: you will cross-off all possibilities until you can designate the murder weapon, find out the motive and unmask the criminal. Are you ready to use your wits and deduction skills to fight crime? Did the actress do it for revenge using a handgun as the powder on the pillow suggests? Or maybe it was the politician, but did he use the knife or the chainsaw? Was it out of sheer madness or was it for power? for love? Or simply money? The next clue might be decisive...
