The High Rise Killer: A Dark Etchings Mystery
Thousands of suspects. Fourteen clues. One killer.
Once a year, executives from five continents descend on a towering city high-rise for a summit of quiet handshakes, private meetings, catered receptions, and deals made behind closed doors.
By midnight, the building is almost empty.
A security guard begins her rounds through silent offices and abandoned boardrooms. Then she notices something that shouldn't be there-a door left open that should be locked and a light burning in an office that should be dark.
Somewhere among the thousands of names on the summit guest list is a killer, checked into the city under someone else's expense account.
Your job is to find the killer.
The High Rise Killer is an illustrated elimination mystery that puts you in the detective's chair. Work through 38 chapters filled with suspects, each identified by a full name, hotel, home city, and restaurant. Apply fourteen clues involving names, letters, vowels, cities, hotels, and restaurants to eliminate suspects one by one.
Every clue matters. Every ordinary detail can eliminate someone. Keep going until only one guest survives all fourteen clues.
Atmospheric black-and-white illustrations take you through the tower after hours-empty offices, quiet elevators, deserted boardrooms, darkened corridors, and the strange stillness of a skyscraper long after everyone should have gone home.
Think you've found the killer?
The solution is ciphered at the back, so an accidental glance won't give the ending away.
Grab a pen. Follow the clues. Find the guest who never should have been there.
