Chapter 2 of 10
Sylvie found Johnny on the fire escape outside the band room, where she used to find him in 1950. He was holding a bar towel full of ice to his mouth. "You split your lip," she said. "Bit it." He kept his eyes on the street. "Ten years, and you're still here." "I came back when Monty hired me. Same as you." "Not the same." He took the ice away. The lip was swollen at one corner. "I couldn't have made that ending tonight anyway." "Where were you at a quarter to ten?" "Talking to the paper. Ask the man from the Star." Below them a taxi honked. Johnny gave her back the towel. Then he fixed the clip in her hair, the way he used to. "I came back for two things, Sylvie," he said. "You're one of them."

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 color 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.
