FOR FANS OF DAN BROWN, MURDLE AND MURDER MYSTERIES. THE IDEAL SECRET SANTA GIFT.

100 fiendish and humorous murder mystery puzzles to unscramble in a brainteasing chase around the world. Crosswords, codes, mazes, logic, sudoku and much more!

Renowned theologist Sir Gordon Gladstone has been murdered at the British Museum, mere moments before revealing ‘the secretest secret of secrets.’ To add to the problem, ancient documents revealing this all-important secret are missing!

Join wits with Professor Lawrence Lightwood (a cryptographer) and Doctor Dolores Delgado (a literary historian) to find the culprit and retrieve the secret documents.

Featuring non-stop global travel, sneaky (and suspiciously silent) villains, and constant drama, this is a puzzle-strewn chase around the world that will delight all armchair detectives.
