Thirty-five new criminal cases. The criminals wear suits as often as they wear gloves.
Volume 2 of the Raven's Riddle Cases series moves from locked rooms into boardrooms. The crimes are modern. The methods are sophisticated. The deception runs deeper.
Each case presents you with a crime, witness statements, physical evidence, and one question. Every answer follows logically from the evidence provided. At least one piece of evidence in every case is a deliberate red herring. A hint is there if you need it. The full solution - with complete reasoning - is in the answer key.
Ponzi schemes where the whistleblower is the architect. Insurance fraud betrayed by door splinters falling the wrong direction. A charity bled dry through 124 identical transfers - each one just below the compliance threshold. A diplomat assassinated by the people who should have protected him. A restaurant owner killed by a cold room he could not escape - because someone sabotaged the handle days earlier.
Three difficulty tiers:
Investigator - Careful reasoning required. The answers are here - if you look closely.
Detective - Multiple threads across multiple suspects. Hold them all. Know which ones to pull.
Chief Inspector - The obvious answer is a trap. The truth is one level deeper.
This volume includes: White-collar fraud. Corporate espionage. Staged accidents.
Insurance schemes. Forged documents. Embezzlement. Witness elimination. And murders disguised as everything except murder.
For readers who solved Volume 1 and wanted more. For anyone who believes that financial crime is just as compelling as a locked-room mystery - if you follow the money.
35 new cases. Zero filler. Pure deduction.
The first case taught you to look. The second teaches you to see.
