How can a man be in two places at once? How might a murder be committed when no one is seen entering or exiting the house? Can a whole case hinge on a suitcase full of empty beer bottles? The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book reimagines the puzzles that baffled seasoned detectives, letting you tackle the same conundrums with nothing more than observation, logic and lateral thinking.

What’s inside & why it’s special

While modern forensics and technology have transformed policing, the book highlights the enduring power of analytical thought.

The tone is engaging and accessible, making it suitable for casual readers and classrooms alike. Problems vary in difficulty so both seasoned puzzle-solvers and newcomers can enjoy steady progression.
