SUSPEK - Murder on Sunset Boulevard

47,000 first names. 17 clues. 1 killer.

Laurel Canyon, three in the morning. Casting director Marjorie Hayes, 76, three Academy Awards on her mantel, lies slumped across the desk in her hilltop study at the end of Wonderland Avenue, a marble bookend rolled into the corner. Detective Hartmann takes the case and slides the Rolodex across the table. Inside: thousands of first names, fifty years of Hollywood alphabetized card by card, every actress she discovered and every one she passed over. One of them belongs to the killer.

SUSPEK is not a crime novel you simply read. It is a case you solve yourself.

Read the clues, cross out the innocent and find the killer before the trail goes cold.

SUSPEK is puzzle-crime on paper. Reading, puzzling, thinking, no screen, no app. You sit at the table with the book, cross out names, compare lists and follow every trace. At the end, one name remains.
