Dev Hooper arrives home from work to find his girlfriend, Nellie Thorne, has vanished.

But she’s not the first Nellie Thorne to disappear. In fact, she’s the fifth in fifty years.

Enter Jane Pye and Simon a millennial couple who signed up for a private detective night class on a whim. When they’re assigned Dev’s case for their coursework, they quickly realise they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.

Armed with just six weeks of notes, matching trench coats, and a lot of enthusiasm, they set out to solve a case that has baffled Kent’s police for decades.

What connects the missing Nellies? Why do locals whisper about a ghostly presence? Only the Pie & Mash Detective Agency can uncover the truth behind this eerie urban legend.

Is it an open and shut case? Not on your Nellie…
