Harry Harper is one of the most promising football players in the area until he is found dead hanged in the locker room after the team workouts. Phryne is at the recreation center to investigate the disappearance of coach's lucky cap when they discover that the cap with which the boy was hanged is a hoax to cover up the real crime ...

Notes[]
The actual case Phryne accepted was to recover a stolen hat, but the recovery of the hat was never shown. She interviewed the thief who gave enough information that Phryne was able to deduce who currently possessed the stolen property, then the recovery itself was never shown. Phryne simply returned the hat to its owner.
