The Case of the Missing First Lady

THE HAMMER FILES

THE EVIDENCE SHREDDED BY THE SYSTEM. My office hasn’t just been hit—the System ran a cleaner through the archive. As you can see, the files are a random mess because the Controller scrambled the Index and shuffled the ledger. We’ve got a lot of sifting to do if we’re going to recover the case reports and re-sequence my stolen manuscripts. This pile is the wreckage of a system failure. If you’re in on the game, this is where we start.
A grayscale, gritty noir cartoon illustration shows a detective in a fedora intensely watching a mysterious woman in a diner booth. She slides a damp paper across the table, with her purse beside her, under harsh, shadowy lighting.

Cartoon. Noir. Gray scale. Jack Hammer is getting out of a beat-up cab in a run-down, gritty "Old Town" neighborhood.
