A Midsummer Night’s Murder
On Thursday, June 20, the day of the 2024 Summer Solstice, members of The Tethys Society, a self-proclaimed “Spiritual Collective”, have gathered in Glen Ellyn. Their enigmatic founder, Stone Hawkins, believes that “The great energies of the historic mineral springs in Glen Ellyn combined with the Summer Solstice and the presence of the Olmec Heads will create a once-in-a-lifetime energetic healing event” (from The Tethys Society website).
The Tethians planned to gather at 4:44 pm on June 20 for this transformative ritual but a chilling discovery shatters the groups’ plans. Hawkins is found dead, his lifeless body lying beside Lake Ellyn. Whispers of foul play spread like wildfire among the shocked collective, and suspicions arise as hidden agendas and long-buried secrets come to light.
Amidst the turmoil, a group of determined detectives (that's where YOU come in!) must interview the Tethians and navigate a tangled web of mysticism, petty disputes, and quirky personalities to uncover the truth behind the murder.
