For the last 50 years, archeologists and museums have been searching for an as yet undiscovered Mayan city.
Dubbed Site Q by the academic fraternity, artefacts supposedly recovered from the site by local inhabitants have been available on the black market since around 1965. The location of the site, however, has remained a mystery. Until now…
Doug Oles, eminent archeologist and team leader of one of many archeological expeditions to the New World, has discovered a previously unknown city nestling in the hills of the heavily forrested region of the Yucatan peninsula.
Confident of his ability to prove that the site, which he has named as “Nova Corona”, is Site Q, Doug has called a preview dinner and invited celebrities and co-workers to an after dinner lecture in which he hopes to present not only his compelling evidence, but also a sensational new find.
However, at the pre-dinner drinks, tragedy strikes. Doug Oles is reported dead.
The question is, who killed him and why?
The Suspects: - Millionaire philanthropist.
Flashy and energetic, Dick is a successful entrepreneur with a lot of passion for life, people and new ideas.
Lotta Cacao - Luxury chocolatier.
Lavishly dressed with a distinct and opulent style, Lotta has rich hidden depths but loves shiny outer wrappings.

Anne De’Chissel - Sculptress.
With an eye for detail and a strong sense of proportion, Anne dresses artistically and loves texture in her clothing.
Jimmy Capstones - Student archeologist.
Young and exuberant, Jimmy has abandoned his tatty archaeologist’s clothing and instead is wearing his father’s tuxedo in honour of this auspicious occasion.
