SUSPEK - Murder in Boston

47,000 suspects. 17 clues. 1 killer.

Beacon Hill, 11:38 PM, the Sunday before Marathon Monday. Athenaeum trustee Eleanor Whitcomb lies dead at the foot of her marble stair on Louisburg Square. Two centuries of Boston pass through her private subscriber-and-circulation archive, page by page. The killer's first name is on one of those pages. You have to find it.

Inspector Hartmann pulls seventeen clues from the scene. He hands you the file.
