I hadn't thought about the Steward being murdered already, but reading that (and other posts on this forum) has made me think more about the Dogs as coming in after the events, not during.
I was still thinking "during," as a MAJOR in media res start with a bang. The Steward being killed is really neither here nor there (as I see it--YMMV): if he's not dead, he's incompetent and will be replaced; if he is dead, he's out of the picture and must be replaced. I just think it would be grabbier if the Dogs show up as the shit's hitting the fan than if they show up while it's all simmering. For one, you get to the actual game play (not "investigation") in seconds; for two, the Dogs are usually so powerful (relative to NPCs) that they will be able to easily get a handle on the situation, if it is still at the simmer stage--divide and conquer.
