THE WORLD / GRIMMCHESTER

You know the rhyme.
Now solve the crime.

The rhymes are the neat versions. Grimmchester has rents, grudges, locked doors and people who'd rather the old story stayed put. Red and Wolfe look again. You decide what the evidence proves.

THE PEOPLE

Meet the detectives.
Then meet the cases.

Some names you know. Their stories aren't quite the ones you heard.

Red Riddinhood

Private investigator. Knows the routes people take, and the ones information takes.

Terence Wolfe

Private investigator. Everyone thinks they know his story. He's learned to look beyond theirs.

Sergeant Bramble

Grimmchester's formidable tortoise sergeant. He gives a young recruit room to work.

Jack Horner

A streetwise boy accused of taking the deeds. His account deserves a careful hearing.

Humphry D. Umpty

Owner of the Wall. His fall sets the other investigation in motion.

TWO SEPARATE STORIES

Two cases. One city.

Each mystery stands on its own. Both ask you to look past the version everybody repeats.

THE PRINTED PUZZLE BOOK

The Crust of
the Matter

The deeds to Plum Lane have vanished. Thirty-one families could lose their homes, and Jack Horner has been caught with a broken seal. He says he found it in a pie. Can you prove what happened before he touched it?
