Pixel Proof™
Plumdrop Bay, tonight
A charming seaside town. A murder. 78 suspects.
It’s the biggest night of the year in Plumdrop Bay. A concert on the square. A queue at the bakery since five in the morning. And Otis Bramble, the town’s grumpiest radio host, will not be introducing tonight’s show. Someone made sure of it.
Constable Bell is stuck directing traffic on the only road in. So he has asked you.
