Most thrillers, you read. These three hundred, you solve.

Word search puzzles and murder mysteries for adults: Boston, St. Louis and Hollywood
Three hundred cases to crack, five steps each. Three books in one: a puzzle, a thriller, and a deduction game.

Three hundred murders are waiting for you, across three cities. Three hundred victims, three hundred killers, buried in three hundred word grids. You sit down and open the file. It lays out six clues and six suspects, and it will give up the killer, but only if you know how to read it.

One weapon to pin down. One killer to corner. One victim to name. One scene to find. Five steps a case. No guessing, no lucky breaks. Logic alone gets you there, three hundred times over.

Three books in one

The Killer Hides in America gathers the first three books in the series into one hefty volume: Boston, St. Louis and Hollywood, each city with its own hundred cases. Every case fits on one page: four grids, twelve hidden words, one method that works the same in all three cities.

How it works, in five steps

Find the words: hunt down the six clues and six suspects hidden in the grids
Pin down the weapon: one clue turns up in two grids
Name the killer: one suspect turns up in those same two grids
Name the victim: the circled letters left over spell it out
Find the scene: the grid hiding that name points to the place
