FROM: The Queen's Bureau of Investigation

In the closely guarded record room of the Q.B.I. is a top-secret file marked Special. This file contains the most unusual cases I have ever worked on - cases that are memorable beceause of an unusual clue, a unique criminal, a surprising situation or a shocking crime.

From these special cases of murder, blackmail, kidnapping and narcotic, I have chosen eighteen that posed the most mystifying problems I have ever encountered.
