The Mask of the Black Sun

“This is it – the case that will turn our fortunes around!” 

Cries Mike Taggart, as he hands you an Adair Company telegram that smells faintly of a woman’s perfume and contains an offer too good to refuse.

It’s no secret that the Taggart Agency, Salem Falls’ once prestigious detective agency has fallen on hard times. First, there was Mike’s longtime partner Solomon Drake calling it quits and starting his rival agency, and then Mike turned to the bottle, and, well, you know how the rest of it goes. Since then, the agency’s been on a slow, downward slide into obscurity, but Mike just received a promising telegram that has a solid case written all over it.

Elizabeth Parlee, one of the richest folks in town, wants someone to retrieve a mysterious relic – the titular Mask of the Black Sun – that was recently stolen. She claims it’s a priceless heirloom that reminds her of her recently departed and world-traveled husband, but rumours are that the mask was once used in rituals as strange as they were dangerous. 

Who could have stolen the mask, and for what purpose? And why was this telegram addressed to Mike’s old partner Solomon anyways?
