Freshman Logico arrives at the prestigious Deduction College with a
keen interest in logic and a mission to graduate at the top of his
class . . . when a series of mysterious killings occur in this fourth
instalment of Murdle: The School of Mystery.
Join Logico as he investigates tricky campus alliances, cut-throat
student elections and trials for the varsity chessboxing team. Along
the way, he'll glimpse robed figures in hidden tunnels and hear
whispers of a secret society, all overshadowed by the unsolved death of
Lord Graystone, founder of the school. Logico must determine whodunnit,
how, where and why, before the final bell. And who better to help him
than fellow student, the enigmatic Irratino?

greater mystery before it's too late. Packed with illustrations, codes
and maps, this is the seminal detective casebook to get those little
grey cells firing!
