This season’s mystery involves “prestidigitator” Roberto Clappini who built a reputation for card tricks that could deceive even the most well-trained eye.  His latest, and final, trick was proclaimed to be one that would take the art of sleight-of-hand to a new level.

It will take skill and investigative expertise to identify the perpetrator of this crime – and deal out a hand that could only be described as a “royal flush.”
