Description

Murder, mystery, mobsters, and mayhem collide aboard the _SS Fortune_! An homage to Dashiell Hammett, creator of Sam Spade (_Maltese Falcon_), this scenario features Hammett's most popular detecting duo, **Nick and Nora Charles** of _The Thin Man_ fame. The couple is unwittingly, of course, drawn into a grisly murder case.

The time is 1947. The place is the _SS Fortune_, a gambling ship on the Susquehanna River, north of Philadelphia. The occasion is a pre-engagement party for rich socialite Tracey Nolan and the handsome Tony Fortune. Tensions are already high as family and the friends of the couple gather together to congratulate them on their engagement. When dead bodies begin piling up and the ship's radio is sabotaged, Nick and Nora will be forced to solve the mystery before anyone else becomes a murder victim.

NOTE: There are a few mature themes. Suggested age range is 16+.

In addition to Nick and Nora Charles, a wide range of male and female roles are available including socialites, mobsters, jazz musicians, gamblers, and possibly even an international spy!

Please dress for a night out on the town aboard a ritzy gambling boat. _We'll try to help with costuming if you have a need._
