About

In 1979, robbers ransacked a bank vault in Kensington, London. The heist was unusually clean - no one was traced and in total 13.8 million pounds of gold and jewels have never been recovered. It now comes to you, our virtuos detective, to analyse and identify the culprits and unearth the shadowy conspiracy at its heart. In this game you are tasked with matching criminals to their names and aliases. You can do this by searching a database, reading articles and listening to tapes.
