The Deadly Ledger
Solve a 2016 murder using a realistic investigative case file.
In Ricochet Hollow, a managing partner uncovers $48,750 in unexplained transfers. The entries are identical. The vendor can’t be verified. A meeting is scheduled for Monday morning.
By then, he’s dead. The scene suggests self-infliction. A locked building. No sign of entry. The records suggest otherwise.
The Deadly Ledger is a printable mystery experience that places you in the role of the investigator. Review witness statements, financial records, emails, surveillance images, and forensic reports to determine what Harold Benton discovered—and why he didn’t live to report it.
Somewhere in the documents is the truth.
