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.
Dare you take it on
Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
