==Summary==
Headlines in the local Boston newspapers are abuzz with details of an enormous battle between police and gangsters in the city. Casualties were extraordinarily numerous on both sides. Some days later a second odd newspaper article emerges, speaking of death threats made against two separate Boston art dealers ... though, this latter story is later retracted as a hoax. On the same day the retraction appears, the Investigators are contacted by the journalist who wrote the "hoax" article with claims that the tale was true, but victim to a police cover up.

===Synopsis===
{{spoiler|This investigative scenario revolves around a Bostonian mob known as the Crimson Gang, and in particular around the actions of young mob leader Patrick Malone. Malone's mother, in a misguided effort to "protect her boy", taught him a Mythos spell to summon "The Black Angel", actually an avatar of Nyarlathotep. Trapped in a confrontation with the police Malone panicked and cast the spell resulting in the reported massacre (on both sides). Of the fleeing gangsters, one understood what Malone had done and stole the pair of tablets which Malone's mother claimed controlled the "Black Angel", selling them to a fence who sold them on to two separate art dealers. Meanwhile, the Black Demon still haunts the sewers of Boston and is hunting down these artifacts.}}
