Free bonus case for True Crime Puzzle Book
She took it in gold
London, 1910. A deaf lodger hands her savings to her landlord in return for a monthly payment for life. Fourteen months later she is in a public grave.
Ten pages, solved from the trial’s own papers: the deal, the death certificate, his list of her cash, a code, a minute in the dock, the bank notes his wife changed, and a note he wrote in his own hand.
The bonus case
It plays like the cases in the book: the story up to where it stuck, then puzzles made from the record. Five spreads, and every answer can be proved from the record or the photograph.
The pages are 6 by 9 inches, the size of the book. Print on Letter or A4 at actual size, or choose “fit to page” to print them bigger. You need a pencil.
