Every Thursday this autumn a funeral launch has carried a dead sailor home up the river, with a singer to mourn him and the Customs standing bareheaded at the stairs. Nine funerals in nine weeks — and the Seamen's Hospital has no record of any of the nine dying.

Victorian London: case 45

This Nightmare case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 19 of them carry a clue; the other 6 only have something to say about themselves. 10 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 45 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
