      About This Book

      "I Samuel W. Westing declare this to be my last will and testament and do hereby swear that I did not die of natural causes. My life was taken from me -- by one of you!"

      THE WESTING GAME: Sixteen players are all suspects in the curious murder of millionaire Sam Westing -- and heirs to his fabulous fortune.

      THE PLAYERS: Mothers, fathers, children, a dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge. And, oh yes, one is a bookie, one is a bomber, one is a burglar, and one is a mistake. All of them have a motive.

      THE PRIZE: The winner will inherit Westing's millions.

      REMEMBER: NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE!
