Abstract:

Solve thrilling murders and cases of robbery, fraud, espionage, and more with Thomas P. Stanwick in this collection of puzzling mysteries. Before you're done, you'll help Stanwick deduce essential facts from physical circumstances, separate liars from truthtellers, decide who has what role in a gang or in a crime, and reason with time sequences. Murders most foul, criminal capers, and miscellaneous mysteries: welcome to the world of wily logician Thomas P. Stanwick. Join him as he fingers the guilty parties in homicides, robberies, frauds, and espionage-and helps his neighbors with less felonious puzzlers. Take a careful look at the facts, the timing, and the suspects-and try to get to the bottom of these whodunits as quickly as Stanwick!
