The Shift Change Killer

Thousands of suspects. Thirteen clues. One killer.

The hospital changes after midnight.

Waiting rooms empty. Elevators slow. Fluorescent corridors grow quiet. The graveyard crew settles into the familiar rhythm of monitors, medication carts, charting, and footsteps in the hall.

Then a supply closet is found disturbed.

By the next shift change, there's a body where a routine round should have been-and someone working the night shift knows exactly what happened. Everyone has an alibi that almost holds together.

Your job is to find the killer.

The Shift Change Killer is an illustrated elimination mystery that puts you in the detective's chair. Work through 38 chapters filled with suspects, each identified by a full name, night of the week, home city, and street. Apply thirteen deceptively simple clues involving letters, vowels, names, cities, streets, and days to eliminate suspects one by one.

Every letter matters. Every detail can clear someone. Keep eliminating until only one member of the night shift survives every clue.

Atmospheric black-and-white illustrations lead you through shadowy corridors, deserted nurses' stations, empty rooms, forgotten belongings, and the strange stillness of a hospital in the hours before dawn.

Think you've caught the killer?

The solution is ciphered at the back, so an accidental glance won't spoil the mystery.

Grab a pen. Follow the clues. Catch the killer before shift change.
