The rain fell steadily over Ashford Manor on the night Lord Edmund Vale was found dead in his locked study. Detective Inspector Harriet Cole arrived at the estate just after midnight, her umbrella useless against the howling November wind outside. Nobody in the household would admit to seeing anything unusual, though every single servant seemed to be hiding something important. Harriet noticed a muddy pair of footprints leading from the study window toward the frozen lake behind the old orchard. Whoever had climbed through that window had also left behind a small silver button, engraved with a crescent moon symbol.
