Chapter 1: The Meneghini Case

The year is 1922. The Great War is long over, slowly becoming a fading memory. Prohibition is in full effect, alcohol being banned across the United States, and the mafia continues to grow in power. In Miskatonic County, life continues as normal. Or so it seems. Famous actress and singer Martha Bakker reports that her father, known magnate Theodore Bakker, has gone missing without leaving a single clue as to his whereabouts. The police seem unable to pick up a trail. Growing desperate, and losing trust in the police force, Martha decides it might be best to hire a group of professionals to help her find her father. From hardy thugs, to Great War vets, to private detectives, to scholars and occultists. Her father was quite fond of the occult himself, really. Their mission seems to be rather easy at first, but as the detectives continue to delve deeper and deeper into the case, it clearly becomes more than just a case of a missing person.

At Miskatonic University, there are rumors of another missing person. Mario Meneghini, a professor from the University of Buenos Aires, disappeared after landing in Boston. Could both cases be related?
