London, 1952. During a city-wide blackout, Veronica Lane, the star singer of the Aurora Hotel's supper club, left the stage between sets and later found her sapphire necklace gone from her dressing room. Minutes afterward, the night porter Albert Pike was found knocked out in the stalled lift. The manager insists a thief came in off the street. You are a guest with a sharp eye, and you have been asked to look into it before the police arrive at dawn. Four people were in the hotel: the bandleader Julian Frost, Veronica's dresser Edna Quill, the manager Mr. Reginald Cobb, and a travelling salesman, Stanley Keane.
