Story

FEBRUARY 1938, LOS ANGELES FDR's New Deal finally gets rolling. Hitler is also on the march, this time via Austria. But as chief detective in a quiet small town on the outskirts of L.A., you have other things to do. A high-profile socialite is dead. And now it looks like a low-life crook is ripping off her millionaire old man. And then, on this stormy February night, a rich but frightened man unexpectedly asks you for protection. Despite your best efforts, a death occurs and you have twelve hours to solve the mystery and arrest the killer - the blackmail turns ugly. You're down to one body and a race against time to nail your suspect ... unless you get caught first! No one said a sordid family affair like this would be a piece of cake. Everyone from the gorgeous heiress to the poker-playing butler could end up in jail before it's over. Before you lies a Gordian knot of motives and alibis. And the only testimony you can trust is that of your own eyes - because you are the WITNESS.
