书籍简介

1933年11月，伦敦。七个人收到神秘信件。

有人知道了他们可怕的秘密。他们被叫到一栋豪华联排别墅，其中一人当着其他人的面被刺死，但不知何故，却无人目睹。你能帮助苏格兰场解开谜团吗？

这本互动式谋杀悬疑小说，出自畅销书《古雅英国村庄不被谋杀指南》的作者兼插画家之手。

亲爱的侦探：

你肯定看过报纸，读过美国小说家罗伊·彼得森被刺死的报道。他和另外六个人待在一个房间里，却没有人靠近他，也没有人目睹谋杀的发生。

这起犯罪如此狡猾，逻辑上如此不通，以至于它似乎不是由一个人犯下的，而是由一只无形的手所为。

我须承认，我们一头雾水。是谁写了这些毒笔信，引诱这七个人参加这场致命的聚会？诗人、伯爵、演员、厨师、电话接线员和花花公子之间有什么共同点？而且，一个男人怎么会在满屋子的嫌疑犯中被刺死，而他们中没有一个人能做到？

警探，我们已经派出了优秀的人员来调查此案，但仍然一无所获。我们将这份案卷交给你。

你能破译线索，解读证人证词，并确定凶手吗？你是我们最后的希望。你能帮我们破获“爬行之手”案吗？

此致，

伦敦警察厅侦缉总督察

November 1933. London. Seven people receive mysterious letters.

Someone knows their terrible secrets. They are summoned to a posh townhouse where one is stabbed right in front of the others, but somehow no one saw a thing. Can you help Scotland Yard solve the mystery?

An interactive murder mystery from the bestselling author and illustrator of Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village

Dear Detective,

Surely you have seen the papers and read about the murder of the American novelist Roy Peterson stabbed while in a room with six other people, and yet no one went near him or saw the murder occur.

The crime is so devious, so logistically impossible, that it seems to have been committed not by a person but by a disembodied hand.

I must confess that we are at a loss. Who wrote the poison pen letters that lured these seven people to this deadly gathering? What do a poet, an Earl, an actress, a cook, a telephone operator, and a lothario have in common? And how can a man be stabbed in a room full of suspects when none of them could have done it?

We have had our best people on the case, Detective, and we still can't make heads or tails of it. We are giving this case file to you.

Can you decipher the clues, decode the witness statements, and identify the murderer? You are our last hope. Can you help us crack the Case of the Creeping Hand?

Yours truly,

Detective Chief Inspector of the Metropolitan Police

Maureen Johnson is the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village (illustrated by Jay Cooper) and many young adult novels, including the very murderous Shades of London series, the Stevie Bell mysteries (starting with Truly Devious), and Death at Morning House. She has also done collaborative works, such as Let It Snow with John Green and Lauren Myracle (now a movie on Netflix), and several books in the Shadowhunter universe with Cassandra Clare. For safety’s sake, she lives in New York City; the vicar cannot reach her there.

Jay Cooper’s books don’t normally include grisly murders, nefarious deeds, or corpses of any kind. He has illustrated over twenty-five books for young people, including the New York Times and USA Today bestselling graphic novel series The Last Comics On Earth. He is also a Clio award-winning creative director of theatrical advertising, and has worked on over 150 Broadway musicals and plays (which have heaps of deaths).
