LOOSE ENDS (Zenobi Software) It had been three years since Sir Ignatius Grimwood K.G. had done battle with the evil criminal, Bert Rosenberg, The final minutes of the conflict had been a fluke, Grimwood had considered, culminating in Rosenberg's timely and yet unsatisfying death. Grimwood knew the villain was a genius and to track him down was nothing compared to the intellectual challenge that the "head-to-head" confrontation should have been.

"All I know is that whatever he stole must have been very important," replied Hardy, "but it's beyond me what this was."

Just remember, a Rosenberg never forgets! - A well-wisher, or perhaps not so. A final letter told him to watch the balconies during his performances of Hamlet, which would mark the first time in three years that he and Hardy would perform at the Peregrine Theatre in the town of Sandbourne. The night of the first performance had arrived and Grimwood was prepared for the revelation of the truth behind Rosenberg's earlier activities and was ready to tie up several Loose Ends This game is the sequel to "Out of the Limelight" and, though there is no need to have played the previous game beforehand, it may actually help.
