The Meridian Gate Blackout

The investigation

Can you see what the scene is hiding?

At 11:47 PM, Meridian Gate goes dark for exactly ninety seconds. When emergency power returns, chief engineer Nolan Mercer is dead inside a control chamber. Four alibis look solid until the blackout is reconstructed second by second.

Evidence noteNinety seconds is enough time only if the killer was already inside.

This is an original fictional fair-play mystery. The clues are presented for entertainment; no real people or events are depicted.
