About this ebook
In this interactive crime novel, step into the shoes of a detective and investigate the most mysterious crime of your career.
There’s been a murder at Elysium, a wellness retreat set in an English country manor. You arrive to find the body of a local businessman on the lawn – with a rose placed in his mouth. It appears he was stabbed with a gardening fork and fell to his death from the balcony above. But that balcony can only be accessed through a locked door, the key is missing, and everyone in Elysium is now a suspect...
Gather the evidence and examine the clues. Choose who to interview next, and who to accuse as your prime suspect. But remember that every decision you make has consequences – and some of them will prove fatal...
Do you have what it takes? Can YOU solve the murder?
Experience a gripping new type of story, unlike anything you’ve read before, from Antony Johnston, award-winning crime author and veteran games writer.

About the author
A successful games writer of franchise-defining titles such as Dead Space, Resident Evil Village, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and CSR Racing, all of which were multi-million sellers, Antony Johnston is also an established fiction writer. The 100 million grossing movie Atomic Blonde was based on his Cold War spy thriller graphic novel; his first cosy crime book The Dog Sitter Detective won the Barker Book Award for fiction and is now a successful series; his Brigitte Sharp espionage series is being developed for TV by Red Planet Pictures (Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise, et al); and he also writes the bestselling Alex Rider graphic novels, adapted from Anthony Horowitz’s YA books. The combination of these skills makes Antony uniquely qualified to write a whodunit gamebook in which you play a detective who must solve the murder.
