LOVE OR MONEY?
Are you a good detective? Yes? If you are, then you must find the
killer before Inspector Walsh. Inspector Walsh is a police detective;
he works slowly, but very carefully. Are youquicker?
What does a detective do? A detective looks for clues. A clue is
something, big or small, that tells you who the killer is. Clues are not
easy to find, but there are many clues in this story. Some clues are
good — they help you. Other clues are bad — they stop you finding
the killer. You must read carefully, or you will miss the clues.
But remember: you must not believe everything thatpeople say.
The killer will obviously lie. Perhaps other people will also lie, for
different reasons. And perhaps they want someone to die. But who
wants ... and kills? Can you find the killer?
