Work the club, gumshoe. One body. Five names. One of them did it.

Midnight, 1924. A speakeasy locks down with the house dealer dead at his own table. Work the club station by station — the card table, the bandstand, the dumbwaiter, the cellar — each gives up one fact about the killer's night, all in the house's own suit-code. The duty board turns four facts into one name.

  • The body

    “Diamond” Joe Castellano — the house dealer — is dead at his own table, the deal stopped mid-hand. The doors were already barred for the night. Whoever did it is still inside.

  • The job

    Five staff on the night roster. Work the club station by station — every lock you crack gives up one hard fact about the killer’s night. Read the room and the facts line up against one name.

  • The house

    This is a card house — the suits turn up in every room of it: the floor, the bandstand, the shaft, the cellar. Each room uses them its own way. Read it right and the count comes out.
