The investigation continued as the Mavens regrouped to go over the clues that had found so far. Darya and Lita went searching for Tony and found him retrained in the basement, suddenly the door slammed behind them! Beulah and Opal went to investigate the kitchen where Lita has seen a person with many tattoos. Opal sweet talked the tattooed man revealed to be ex-con Mike Taylor. Beulah found a hidden brief case full of money. Having escaped the basement, Lita and Darya freed Tony and found a bag with some fake passports for Ace Rogers as well as a bullet with the Mayor’s name on it. The Mavens regrouped again and decided to pay the Mayor a visit.

The Mavens were at Town Hall for a Charity Poker Tournament. Opal learned that Nathaniel Hale has taken a special interest in the restoration of the USS Indubitable. Lita helped contribute to the downfall of the reigning poker champ, Tony Martinez. Beulah ensured that that Dan Gardner, a property developer wouldn’t be walking away a winner, and Darya also helped make sure that Mayor Simons didn’t win big at the tables.

As the final contestants prepared for the last showdown of the night, the lights went off and poker expert Charles “Ace” Rogers was shot dead. Not missing a beat, the Mavens already dug up several clues: gloves with gun residue, a suspect with a gambling addiction, plans to bulldoze Brindlewood Fen and the murder weapon itself! Was it the crystals? The weak screwdriver she drank? Maybe or maybe Opal saw an unsettling vision…

Tonight is the Brindlewood County Charity Poker Tournament. You are all competing tonight in town hall. When one of the high rollers is killed at the table, the race is on to uncover the truth and solve the latest mystery for…The Murder Mavens!
