Extra Extra! Real-life Film Mystery In Small City!
The body of film extra, Stan D'Enstare, has just been discovered on the set
of Cold Cops, the latest blockbuster being filmed in and around Wells.
From witness reports Stan kept claiming Wells wasn't actually the smallest
city in England, annoying everyone within earshot. Local police have so far
been less than animated with their investigations. Chief Inspector Holly
Wood has now decided to go off-script, looking for some top-notch
detectives with strong character and ready to act, to perform the role of
lead investigators - just don't make a scene about it... Can YOU solve the
Clues left around the city by the guilty party and help the Chief snare this
culprit before the credits roll?
