🔹 Full Description

Cain's Jawbone is not a book you simply read from start to finish. It is a puzzle you have to rebuild. First published in 1934 by Edward Powys Mathers, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler who wrote as Torquemada, it hides a full murder mystery inside pages that have been deliberately shuffled.

Your task is to read closely, follow the clues, and place all 100 pages in the one correct order. When you succeed, the story reveals six victims and the person responsible for each death. With millions of possible page combinations, guesswork will not help. Careful logic will.

The book has sold around half a million copies, yet only four people are known to have solved it. That is part of its appeal. If you enjoy cryptic crosswords, logic puzzles or classic crime fiction, this edition offers a serious test of patience and focus.
