The Misadventures of Anthony Stark, Consulting Detective
They had been on the ship bound for Madagascar not a full twenty four hours before the first theft. All the cabins had been searched and not a thing could be found with which to pass blame on any of the passengers or crew.
The disappearances would continue, jewelery, bank notes, things of sentimental and retail value alike. Many passengers had left their company as the trip continued, opting to continue their journey on another ship, or canceling it all together. The Captain and crew were at their wits end, and with great desperation had turned to passenger and detective Anthony Stark. If he couldn't help them discover the thief and the stolen property then they would loose thousands upon docking, and their business simply couldn't afford such a loss, nor such a knock to their reputation.
