Captain and the Magic Lantern

Case File #003

Every autumn, lanterns fill the streets of Maplewood with warm light.

Families gather.

Music drifts through town.

The evening feels almost magical.

But when a lantern begins appearing in impossible places at impossible times, whispers spread throughout the neighborhood.

Some say it’s a prank.

Some say it’s a coincidence.

Captain Harlene isn’t convinced.

A trail of clues leads through forgotten streets, old memories, and a mystery that seems determined to stay hidden.

Sometimes the brightest clues appear after dark.
