Opening the last signature will reveal whether the reader's P.I. skills are up to par.Murder at Wayne Manor begins with an astonishing discovery: the body of a young woman wrapped in a plastic tarp is found on the grounds of Wayne Manor. Forensic scientists determine that the body has been decomposing for 60 years. Along with the body is what appears to be a hand-written diary, which includes a spidery scrawl on the front: "See what the doctor is capable of?"
