Piano bomb detective's last case

When the infamous piano bomber strikes again there’s only one man for the job - the Piano Bomb Detective. As a metronome counts down the seconds until the impending explosion, the pressure mounts for our tuxedo-clad hero, who must kit the right note on the piano to diffuse the bomb.
