Caldmere Public Library, Caldmere
A researcher was struck by a vehicle in the Caldmere Public Library parking lot and left to bleed on the asphalt. Three people were in the area. One of them drove away.
Everyone has something to hide.
27. Nonbinary. Reserved, precise, dry. Came to Caldmere to disappear. Manages the library's digital catalog, security cameras, and alarm system — quietly overqualified for a small-town library.
49. Master's in library science, second life as an amateur genealogist. Has traced half of Caldmere's family trees back to the 1700s. Polite but not warm — she cares about information more than people.
64. Has run The Helm for 31 years. Blunt, tireless, maternal in a rough-edged way. Doesn't gossip — just remembers everything. Can tell you what you ordered six months ago and who you were with.
Can you name the culprit?
Read the case file, interrogate the suspects, and make your accusation — five guesses to crack it. The deduction board and the solution are for detectives only.
