The clerk watched him read it standing at the window, fold it once, and burn it in the ashtray by the door. Whatever the network decided, Morris wanted no record of it. The clerk keeps his eyes down and his opinion short. Morris read that wire like a man hearing a door close, he says. Then, apropos of nothing at all: he was engaged to Miss Holt once, you know. Before New York. Every station has one thing it never says out loud. At WHRM, that is the thing.

How a mystery chapter works
- 1Read the scene first.Every chapter opens with a scene from the case. The word list is drawn from it, and so is the clue.
- 2Find the words.Tap a word's first letter, then tap along to its last, or press and drag. Found words colour themselves in and cross off the list.
- 3One listed word is not in the grid.Find the other nine and the word left over is the chapter's clue. Note it down, or let the case page keep it for you.
- 4The finale needs every clue.The last puzzle's word list is the clues you collected, and once you find them all, the leftover letters spell out who did it, and why.
