September 2022Kains Knochen
Das schwerste kriminalistische Rätsel der Welt | Wer kann diesen Fall lösen? | 100 Seiten, Millionen Möglichkeiten, 1 Lösung
by Torquemada, Henry McGuffin
Kains Knochen ist ein hundertseitiger Krimi, in dem sechs Menschen sterben. Um herauszufinden, wer sie sind und wer sie getötet hat, muss der Leser die Seiten des Buches neu anordnen. Es gibt Millionen von Möglichkeiten – aber nur eine richtige Lösung. Bis heute haben drei Personen sie gefunden. 1934 schreibt der Kreuzworträtselautor des Observer, Edward Powys Mathers, unter seinem Pseudonym Torquemada einen einzigartigen Roman mit dem Titel Kains Knochen – der Titel bezieht sich auf die erste dokumentierte Mordwaffe. Es ist nicht nur ein Kriminalroman, sondern auch eines der schwierigsten Worträtsel, die je veröffentlicht wurden. Es wurde von nur zwei Menschen gelöst, deren Namen zwar enthüllt wurden, deren Lösung jedoch ein Geheimnis blieb.2017 gelang es dem Laurence Sterne Trust nach monatelangen Nachforschungen und mit viel Glück, das Geheimnis von Kains Knochen zu lüften. Er behielt es für sich, brachte eine Neuausgabe des Buches heraus und lobte einen Preis in Höhe von £ 1.000 für die Lösung des Rätsels aus. Viele haben sich daran versucht, doch es gab nur eine richtige Einsendung … Mit Erscheinen der deutschsprachigen Ausgabe schreibt der Suhrkamp Verlag das Gewinnspiel neu aus.

Now, with nothing but memories of home to defend himself, he must face the monster within and hope to control it when the time comes to set it free.The time of the New World is coming to an end...Praise for The New World Series: "Llewelyn accomplishes the task of blending together all the right stuff for a great character-driven science-fiction tale. The people on the journey are relatable and likable, the situation is incredible but Llewelyn seals it with believable science... brilliant writing. It will get your adrenaline pumping as new action sequences burst to life, and it'll give you chills when each new surprise comes your way. This series is one you won't want to miss." ~ Tellest
