The Marlowe Concert Hall, twenty minutes before curtain. The famous violinist Ilsa Varga left her violin case in her dressing room for a quick rehearsal on stage. When she returned, her favourite bow was snapped in two. You are a visitor who was waiting in the wings, and the stage manager has asked you to help. Three people had access to the backstage corridor: her accompanist Piers Dunn, the stage manager's assistant Nell Okoro, and a rival violinist, Cassian Rowe, who is playing second on the programme.
Your goal: Work out who snapped Ilsa Varga's bow and accuse them with evidence (at least two key clues). Two wrong accusations and the culprit slips away into the crowd.
Round, anxious, with ink on his fingers.
Harried, headset around her neck, speaking very fast.
Elegant and sharp-eyed, with a smile that never quite settles.
