My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere -Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of the Four.
Solve incredible conundrums with greatest detective of them all with this collection of over 130 fiendish and hugely entertaining puzzles and enigmas.
