COLD CASE · PRACTICE
THE UNBROKEN DRIFT
A coaching inn on the moor road, interwar, the dead hour before dawn, snow to the sills.
Decode each statement, then name the one liar. The cipher is the same for all five.
INCIDENT REPORT. Walter Sefton, magistrate of the moor sessions, was found dead in the back parlour of the Lantern Inn in the dead hour before dawn, the snow lying to the sills outside. One fact stands settled: the drift closed the pass the day before and lay unbroken to the wall, the constable's photograph at first light showing no track through it. Nobody came down that road. Five were snowed in under the inn's roof. One account will not hold.
