It wasn't that long ago that young FBI agent Nicole Bonnet wrapped up her first serial murder mystery in Art of Murder: FBI Confidential, but her second challenge is fast approaching, as evidenced by the launch of the official website for Hunt for the Puppeteer.

In this sequel from Polish developers City Interactive, a new series of homicides is occurring in the US, and this time there's another death in France. Each murder follows the same M.O., as the killer leaves behind a mysterious figurine dressed in 18th century clothing. With no apparent connection between victims, it'll be up to Nicole (and the player) to discover the link in another globe-trotting adventure that leads through the "dark corners of New Orleans, the streets and alleys of Paris and Marseilles, Spanish Pyrenees and hot Havana."

The new website is a little light on content at the moment, featuring mainly a few additional details about the game, but look for it to be updated as the game draws closer to its Q1 2009 release target.
