Praise for The Mystery Agency
'I'm just mad about the Mystery Agency, and even madder about Henry Lewis. Like, it makes me actually mad how wonderfully talented he is at puzzle creation and storytelling. This book is an utter delight, one that should be in the collection of any sharp thinker. I hated how much I loved it. Can't recommend it enough.' - Neil Patrick Harris, puzzle-master and award-winning actor

'I loved this book! Highly recommended' - Matt Lucas, Actor and comedian

Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations... but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada's murder mystery?


In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers.


Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks?


Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
