Description

The most difficult literary puzzle of the century

Six murderers. Six victims. Millions of possible developments

Edward Powis Mathers is a graduate of Trinity College, Oxford, an English poet, translator and specialist in the development of cryptographic crosswords. Also known under the pseudonym Torquemada. Author of the work "Crosswords for Mature Years" and the collection "The Book of Torquemada Riddles", which includes the novel "The Jaw of Cain".

In 1934, the English crossword developer Edward Powis Mathers, under the pseudonym Torquemada, published a detective novel and at the same time one of the most difficult puzzles in the world. Over the 90 years of the book's existence, only three readers have been able to solve it.

The hundred pages of the story are printed in a completely random order. By reading thoughtfully, using logic and deduction, changing the sequence of pages and solving numerous puzzles, you will get a chance to solve each of the six crimes.
