The Case of the Missing Tourists in Stanhope Things are not all well in the fair village of Stanhope. Several tourists have gone missing, only to be found wandering the Durham Dales, lost and without their valuables. The story they tell has some similarities-most have been lured into exploring Weardale's lead mines with a guide. But the guide is no ordinary tour guide-police think they are a scoundrel out to take advantage of the dark, confusing tunnels. Once lost and bewildered, the tourists are easily taken advantage of and robbed. The Stanhope police have identified several suspects linked to these dastardly deeds, and the Durham County C.I.D. has called in top detectives to help solve the case.
