Synopsis

3,700 passengers. No port. No escape !

At 22:42, Detective Inspector Adam Smith receives a message that turns a luxury Nile cruise into a countdown.
" At midnight, Tender Bay Four burns and this ship goes down. Find me ".

The Osiris Crown is already too far from its next emergency stop. Then, at 23:54, Chief Safety Auditor Dr. Leila Fayed is found dying beside Tender Bay Four. A torn cabin-key fragment lies near her body. Somewhere on board, a timed destructive device is waiting.

You are Detective Inspector Adam Smith.

Work through a complete ship registry of 5,000 people—3,700 passengers and 1,300 crew, contractors, entertainers and security staff. Follow the evidence: cabin-key records, embarkation data, dining logs, access scans, service tickets and route traces. Use fourteen clues to narrow the field to six finalists, then examine their dossiers and six final clues to expose the one killer.

This is not a conventional mystery novel. It is a fully playable detective case: an interactive, paper-and-pencil investigation in which every elimination is supported by evidence and every suspect can be checked.

Can you identify the killer, the motive, the method, the route... and the lie that gives them away before midnight?
