The Strange Case of the Bodies in the Docks [AFF]
This is a story out of time, yet set in the real world of Earth in the 1920s. It is a dark and sinister tale of betrayals and strange goings-on. You are a man or woman, fresh from the rigours and the horrors of the First World War, trying to find your feet in a world of lost innocence, where the halcyon days of youth are a distant memory; and you are shocked and disgusted by how low the world around you sank into depravity. Yet there are things happening which you cannot explain. How could man alone have been responsible for such carnage and senseless slaughter? Perhaps there is something else behind this mass murder...You are also aware that science and technology are advancing at a rapid rate, and that man is discovering much about the present that sheds new light onto the past. Some of these discoveries are made public, yet you are sure many are hidden away from the common man though for what purpose you are unsure.
At the start of this adventure, you are living somewhere in Great Britain, not too far from a main-line railway. Three characters will take part to this investigation: an honest Doctor, put upon and sickened by the war, a Detective, always on the lookout for some easy money and a Gangster, who, having already made some easy money, is intrigued by what is happening around him.
