From publisher blurb:
"A heist of a lifetime goes wrong when you are double crossed by your employer. Are you able to find out why you were sold out before the cops catch you?"
"An heir to a rich family is found dead, stuffed into a carryall bag. While the police are cluelessly stumbling in the dark, the family hires you to find the killer."
"The mayor of the City offers you a job: stop a journalist from writing scoops about the mayor. If during the process you happen to find out how exactly the journalist gets his material, all the better."
Unsolved Cases is a collection of six case file scenarios to run for Grim Noir RPG.The case files included can be run as short, one session long, adventures or they can be built upon by the GM to create a bigger, and more complex, case.

Characters: Non-player characters that play a crucial role in the mystery.
Locations: Places in the City that hold clues to solve the case.
Clues: Pieces of information that can be gathered by the investigators. Clues will tell what is really going on, but they might not help make the final decisions on how to solve the case. That decision is always left up to the investigators.
