This is the second case in the Fathom Detective Agency series. Each case stands alone, so you can do them in any order you like. You can find the first case here.

Welcome back, gumshoe. I was proud of your detective work on the last case. But don’t get cocky. Reputations are built one case at a time.

I’ve got the classic good news and bad news for you. The good news: we’ve got a fresh case and it pays well. The bad news: it’s a little more serious than a stolen yacht.

A ten-year-old girl was kidnapped in the middle of the night in Vancouver. The client reached out to us directly first thing this morning. With cases like these, you’ll have to work quickly. The trail can run cold before you know it.

Our client expects you to find his daughter. Alive. Her name is Julie.

You’re already booked on a flight to Vancouver. Good luck.

Vancouver, Canada

The Case

You arrive in Vancouver on a rainy afternoon.
You only have 20 hours to complete your mission.

  • Top Priority: Find the city where Julie is…
