Congratulations @disconnect, well found.

You win 8 STEEM and 8 Detective League points.

You also get 1 bonus point for working out the GG1958 code.


There are still bonus points available for anyone who can decode Clue #1.


It looks like we need to send a couple of Atlas Detectives to Havana to see if they can track down The Old Man in Havana.

I wonder if he is Capitán Verde or El Curador?

Sort:  

Graham Greene: Man in Havana

Code: GG1958

Clue Analysis

“ We have just received new information from the latest crime scene.”

  • This mystery context/crime is consistent with espionage and thriller themes.

“The janitor who first discovered the robbery reports that there was a strange smell in the air”. “He said it reminded him of when his Uncle Arnold visited at Christmas.”

  • Smell: I think it is from a cigar ( specifically Cuban cigars)
  • Uncle Arnold at Christmas: images of spies and secret deals similar to the film Our Man in Havana.

“The thieves also left a message sprayed on the wall…” “We’ll be back.”

  • It sounds like a threat or maybe a promise, something sneaky, like spying or making things up, which is a big part of Our Man in Havana.

Yes the smell was from cigars - 1 Bonus point for that.

But it was a different Arnold...

One last try, Arnold is Graham Greene. 🙂

My search shows the following:

Graham Greene (GG1958) may be both:

  • El Curador — when he is the observer, archivist, and author.

  • Capitán Verde — when he is the active agent, the one in the field, influencing the world.
