Can you solve the most diabolical literary enigma in the world? Cain’s Jaw by the English author Edward Powys Mathers (alias Torquemada) was published in 1934. This short 100-page detective novel has a particularity: the pages are mixed up. And the content of the novel itself is, how do you say, cryptic.
