This story is a sequel to The Misdemeanor Private Detective Agency

Six months after our breakthrough case at The Misdemeanour Private Detective Agency, and I - Nocturne - was ready for a well-earned break.
Disappointingly, with a royal summons to attend the first Dragon Treaty, a couple of ponies I wish I'd never met, and a theft that could cost everypony their lives, it seemed that my break would have to wait. But then, perhaps I shouldn't have chosen a career in detective work.

Reading the previous story is not required to understand this one. Feel free to take a look at it if you want, though.

Even in the golden heart of Canterlot, ponies are not safe from crime. From petty theft to vicious murder, somepony has to keep the streets safe. Somepony has to pick up the pieces. Somepony has to find the criminals before they strike.
Luckily, they don't do a brilliant job - or I'd be out of work.
So, hello there - the name's Nocturne - investigator of obscure crime, back-alley stabbings, and part-time foal-sitter. Currently working for the least successful private detective agency in the whole of Canterlot.
Oh - and the prime suspect in a high profile murder.
That last bit might be the most important, actually...
