The Lost Manuscript — Six Literary Mysteries (English Paperback)

Bellwether Books is reopening, and its new keeper has inherited a rumour: an unpublished manuscript waits somewhere in the archive, scattered into six gatherings. Follow the documents, solve the mysteries and bring the story home. Six connected cases take you from the bookshop to a map room, a composing room, an old greenhouse, a parcel office and a lighthouse archive. Each case contains four puzzles and reveals another fragment of an original story about a city whose library lends hours instead of books. Inside: 24 puzzles built from letters, shelf records, ciphers, maps and numerical clues; illustrated archive documents; space for your working notes; progressive hints and complete explanations at the back. Play alone or share the evidence with another reader. You need a pencil and the book; no internet, outside research or knowledge of existing novels is required. Physical paperback, 6 × 9 inches (152.4 × 228.6 mm), 96 black-and-white interior pages, full-colour matte cover. English edition only. Printed on demand by Lulu. Estimated delivery: 10–20 days. Standard US shipping included. Other destinations quoted before payment. This is a complete six-case book, not the earlier first-case prototype or a digital download. The fiction, puzzles and artwork were developed with AI assistance.
