SOMEONE LIED is a murder mystery puzzle book built around a single case. Nora Vance was found dead in her locked study on a Friday night, with no forced entry and no witnesses. A half-finished glass of wine sat on the desk, and her cracked phone had made its last call to a number that was already disconnected.
The book holds a ledger of 49,999 suspect names. They are drawn from sealed court documents, hotel check-in registers, insurance claim files, election canvassing lists and a grand jury transcript. Nineteen handwritten clues are tucked inside the front cover.
To solve it, apply each clue in turn and cross out every name that fails a condition. One suspect survives all nineteen filters, and that name is the answer. The solution comes from logic alone, with no guessing.
