The Waning Moon

 

The Jewel Thief soon to be known as “The Raven” makes his roguish entrance.

Only making appearances by the light of a full moon, the mysterious being makes his rounds staying in the shadows, until he spots his selected prey coming into his game.

 

Then once things are settled, the thief leaves behind a note

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The First Note

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Why wait till the moon is full to make my way?

Why not I would dare ask?

Nor would you, if one would only look in stay,

And savour her jewels reflecting in it’s soothing bath!

Black Pawn to D5

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What stumped the Yard’s Detectives was that in Chess white always move first. So what game was he playing at?
