Beskrivning
From the creator and publisher behind the viral sensation Cain's Jawbone: A Very Novel Mystery, is a collection of 112 difficult cryptic crossword puzzles.
Edward Powys Mathers (1892–1939) introduced the cryptic crossword to Britain in 1926 through the pages of the Observer. Known as Torquemada, he was acknowledged as a brilliant translator and a critic specialising in crime fiction. In 1934 he published a selection of his puzzles under the title The Torquemada Puzzle Book – the final hundred pages of which contained the novel-cum-puzzle Cain’s Jawbone. His true identity was only revealed when he died in 1939, and this selection of Torquemada’s best crosswords was originally published in 1942.
