Description
48,319 SUSPECTS. 22 CLUES. 1 KILLER.
Can you find the guilty name before the Answer Key does?
At the Eastmarsh Gala, every guest arrived with an invitation. Before the night was over, Sir Anselm Merrick was dead in his own library, the doors locked from the inside, and the killer was still hiding somewhere on the guest list.
Nothing was stolen. There was no break-in. Whoever did this was invited.
Now the case is in your hands.
HOW IT WORKS
Twenty-two clues, laid out in order at the front of the book. Read a clue, eliminate every suspect it rules out, and move to the next. Some clues describe the name itself, its letters, its length, its shape. Others describe where the name sits: which case file it was filed under, whose name appears twice on its page, who was standing near it when the register was signed. Work them in sequence and 48,319 names become one.
No guessing. No tricks. No random answers. Just observation, deduction, and the moment the last suspect locks into place.
YOUR MISSION
• Work the 22 clues in order, from the front of the book
• Eliminate 48,318 innocent names from the guest register
• Read both the names and the register itself both hold evidence
• Name the killer before you turn to the Answer Key
NEW IN THE THIRD EDITION
• A full case to solve, not just a list: the victim, the household, the motive, and why that night
• Clues that ask you to think, not only to scan letters, case files, repeated names, and neighbouring guests all carry evidence
• The six case files are now part of the solution, not decoration
• The solution is printed in a simple cipher, so a glance at the Answer Key can't spoil it, and you check the surname first, before the rest is revealed
• Rebuilt guest register with no columns or rulings to lose your place in

Every clue matters. Every name is a possibility.
CAN YOU SOLVE THE CRIME?
The guest list is massive. The clues are waiting. The killer has only one name.
Open the case and start eliminating suspects.
