   Hi All...   
      
      
   The puzzle consists of a 100-page prose narrative with its pages arranged in   
   the wrong order. [...] To solve the puzzle, the reader must determine the   
   correct order of the pages and also the names of the murderers and victims   
   within the story. The story's text includes a large number of quotations,   
   references, puns, Spoonerisms and other word games. The pages can be arranged   
   in 9.33?10157 (factorial of 100) possible combinations, but there is only one   
   correct order. The solution to the puzzle has never been made public.

   Caution: NOT for ebook readers!  ;)  The physical format is the ONLY way to go   
   for this challenge..  and you could even be tempted to rip out the pages to   
   but the story in chronological order.
