    Stairs of Deceit

    Beneath the glass towers of Canary Wharf, a CEO lies at the foot of a stairwell. The fall looks too neat, the story too polished. Everyone has an alibi — only one of them is lying.

    The Crypto Conspiracy

    A million-pound Bitcoin fortune vanishes from a locked Canary Wharf apartment. No forced entry, no witnesses — just a tangle of suspects with secrets to bury. Follow the money before the trail goes cold.

    The Southbank Syndicate

    A gang leader collapses moments after drinking his signature blue slushy. Work the CCTV gaps, chemical traces and rival agendas to expose who poisoned the cup — and who only wanted you to think they did.

    Murder on the Meridian

    At 38,000 feet on an overnight flight to Singapore, a hospitality tycoon is found dead in his sealed business-class suite. The cabin has no cameras — but the aircraft logged almost everything else. Read the records, break the alibis and unmask a killer who never left their seat.
