What it's about
The story.
Mara Nachtigall turns to the detective agency in despair. Someone is selling her unreleased songs online. Only four people can get into that archive, and of all people, they all belong to her closest team. All four have a motive.
At the last press event before her tour, Mara's chair stays empty. Is her disappearance connected to the stolen songs? The hunt for a thief becomes the search for Mara.
Your task: Find Mara and uncover who is selling her songs. At 5:05 p.m., her team leaves the city with all four suspects.
