By the author of the international Number One bestsellers KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and THE WAGER
'Chilling . . . Poignant . . . Haunting and gripping . . . gets into worlds that are otherwise invisible to us'
Daily Mail
A Polish detective tries to determine whether an author planted clues to a real murder in his post-modern novel
An arson investigator races to prove whether a man about to be executed is innocent
Scientists stalk a sea monster …
In this engrossing collection, David Grann sets out to unravel the truth of twelve great, real-life mysteries.
Each of these mesmerising stories is true; the protagonists are mortal and pieces of the puzzle often elude them. Some of the characters are driven by deception and murder. Others go mad.
After all, as Holmes puts it, 'Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.'

Pressestimmen
'David Grann tries to unravel the truth behind 12 tales of mystery from around the world including an elusive sea monster and the curious death of a Sherlock Holmes fanatic. Each puzzle is as perplexing as the next' Express 12/3 'Do you like those lengthy, beautifully constructed, highly improbable real life reports that only get published in the New Yorker? David Grann wrote some of the best, including the best 12 published here. Highlights include his decidedly un-jules Verne-esque pursuit of a giant squid, and uncovering a French con man who masqueraded as a missing child' GQ magazine April issue 'Chilling ... Poignant ... Haunting and gripping ... gets into worlds that are otherwise invisible to us' Daily Mail
