About

For forty minutes of totality every lamp at Ashcombe Observatory was out — and when they came back on, the Halley Lens was gone. Five people stayed the night, each a separate mind with a story to tell and something to hide. Look closely, question them, show them what you've found — then name the thief and the cards that prove it.
