Can you help me?

My father, a professor of medieval history at Fordebridge University, has disappeared. I am very worried. He visited me in Vienna a few weeks ago and was really quite agitated about this journal he had - he carried it everywhere with him, and now he's sent it to me. I have also received some phone calls threatening him. He wouldn't tell me what he was researching, but the calls referred to the fact that he should stop what he was doing. The calls stopped, but now he's gone missing.

The police are trying to help. Please don't tell anyone but I managed to get hold of the crime scene report - I'll tell you how later, if I can trust you. I can trust you, can't I? I am sure the report contains clues about my father's disappearance, but I need your help if I am to get further.

I also have some images of my father's study that may contain some clues. If you want them as well I can send them to you. You will help me, won't you? My father loved codes, puzzles and cryptography, so I'm sure he will have hidden clues to what he was doing in his study. If you think you can help, then I'll send you the journal.

If you can't help, I understand, but if you know someone who can please ask them to get in touch. If you're still unsure check out the tour.

Please, I need your help. I'm sure my father is in danger.

Yours faithfully,
