The reader becomes the forensic investigator in this innovative, interactive whodunit that’s full of real science and packed with eye-popping artwork by one of today’s sharpest graphic illustrators. As the mystery unfolds, readers look for clues hiding on multiple levels within the story and check their results against the Crime File, which contains the investigating team’s notes on the case.
