Comments
The author's note suggests that "Harlem (K)nights" is intended to be an introduction to Harlem as a setting. The scenario sends investigators to various Harlem neighborhoods, giving the Keeper the opportunity to highlight how they are different from one another.
Keeper Comments
The scenario is designed to accommodate different groups of investigators (Harlem locals, out-of-towners called in to look into Scott "Flip" Wilmore's disappearance, New York Jews tasked with investigating the disappearance of a synagogue regular by Rabbi Silverstein, independent journalists or detectives, or military veterans called in by retired Harlem Hellfigter Samuel Wright.
