== History == | |||
=== Investigating the death of Elias Hoodreim === | |||
After [[Wall Street]] [[tycoon]] [[Elias Hoodreim]] fell from the [[23 (number)|twenty-third]] [[floor]] of [[Elias Hoodreim's office|his office]] in [[Los Angeles]], [[Captain]] [[Amos Burke]] was called in ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Elias Hoodreim? (comic story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Zodiac's Rescue Bid! (short story)}}) alongside [[Tim Tilson]] ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Elias Hoodreim? (comic story)}}) to investigate Hoodreim's [[death]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Elias Hoodreim? (comic story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Zodiac's Rescue Bid! (short story)}}) Ultimately, they were successful, discovering the [[killer]] to have been ex-[[jockey]] [[Pacer Reynolds]], from whom Hoodreim had agreed to buy [[Racehorse (Who Killed Elias Hoodreim?)|a racehorse]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Elias Hoodreim? (comic story)}}) | |||
=== Investigating the death of Lord Nelson === | |||
Amos Burke was in attendance at [[Theatre (Who Killed Lord Nelson?)|a theatre]] during a performance of ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)|part=1}}) of ''[[This Gun for Death]]'', ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Peaceful Thals Ambushed! (short story)}}) which starred [[actor]] "[[Lord Nelson]]". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Peaceful Thals Ambushed! (short story)}}) During the performance, Nelson was shot, leading Burke to investigate, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)|part=1}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Peaceful Thals Ambushed! (short story)}}) with Tim Tilson and [[Les Hart]] being called in to assist in the investigation. Burke systematically [[interview]]ed the [[cast]] of the performance, observing that Nelson "wasn't very [[Popularity|popular]]", but not getting any clear [[Lead (law)|lead]]s. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)|part=1}}) The group continued to investigate, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)}}) ultimately discovering, through noticing [[blue]] [[paint]] on Burke's [[shoe]]s as well as on the [[carpet]] of [[box six]], that the [[killer]] had been [[Mr]] [[Horatio Ferretti|Ferretti]], who had dropped the [[gun]] into a [[tin]] of blue paint, causing him to leave a [[trail]] of blue paint around the theatre. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Lord Nelson? (comic story)|part=2}}) | |||
=== Investigating the death of Irvin Death === | |||
[[file:Now it is murder.png|thumb|left|[[Tim Tilson]] and [[Les Hart]] arrive in [[Irvin Death|Death]]'s [[Irvin Death's home|home]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Death? (comic story)|part=1}})]] | |||
On Captain Burke's [[night]] off, [[fortune teller]] ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Death? (comic story)|part=1}}) [[Irvin Death]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Daleks Suffer Heavy Losses! (short story)}}) arrived at [[Amos Burke's home|Burke's home]], claiming to have foreseen that someone would [[kill]] him, shortly before a [[car]] drove past, with gunfire coming from it, leading Burke to allow Death into his home while he called Les Hart, letting him know what had happened, but stating that no [[murder]] had happened, and that Hart and Tim Tilson should stay at [[work]]. | |||
Returning to [[Irvin Death's home|Death's home]], Burke found that all three of Death's recent clients were also fortune tellers, leading him to question each of them. with [[Charles the Great]] suggesting that it had been a [[publicity stunt]], and that if Burke found Death's valet, he'd find the gun. Burke indeed found Deaths valet and the gun, leading him to threaten that if Death tried another stunt like that, he'd pull both of them in for pestering the police department. | |||
The following evening, Burke found a [[note]] in his home inviting him to Death's "final and fatal [[performance]]" at 8:30 that night, leading him to remark that "some [[people]] never [[Learning|learn]]!", but nevertheless arrived at Death's house. As Burke entered, Death's [[crystal ball]] [[exploded]], killing Death, leading Burke to call in Tim and Les. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Death? (comic story)|part=1}}) Les found an [[Anonymity|anonymous]] [[appointment]] [[Booking|booked]] for the same [[time]] as Burke's [[invitation]], with Burke deciding to question the [[3 (number)|three]] fortune tellers again. Ultimately, Burke discovered the killer to be Charles the Great, as he was the only one of the tellers to describe [[fortune telling]] as a [[performance]], lining up with the invitation he had received. After outwitting Charles, Burke knocked him out. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who Killed Death? (comic story)|part=2}}) | |||
