THE KILLER IS NOT DEAD: They Said It Was Over. But Evidence Doesn't Lie. A Logic-Driven Murder Mystery Elimination Puzzle Where Every Clue Brings You ... (The Killer Is NOT Who You Think Series)
Someone died. 18,000 suspects. One of them is the killer — and you’re going to find out who.
Robert Vane, owner of Carrow Bay Marina, was found murdered aboard his boat, The Meridian, in the quiet harbour town of Carrow Bay. The cabin was locked. There was no forced entry. No signs of a struggle.
The killer had been invited.
Detectives believed they had their man: Owen Cross, Vane’s former business partner.
Then Cross disappeared at sea.
No body. No trial. No justice.
Four years later, new evidence proves the impossible: Owen Cross didn’t die.
He changed his name. Changed his identity. Disappeared into a database of 18,000 suspects.
Will you uncover who he became?
Eighteen evidence files have been assembled. Every clue is true. The rest is up to you.
