Old Sam Westing has died, and left behind him an odd will. He's invited his 16 heirs to play a game, and the winner takes - or inherits - all. The clues? Words typed on pieces of paper towels. The players? The residents of a new apartment building. The solution? Read it and see. This is technically a YA book, but it's so unusual and interesting that I can't imagine anyone not liking it.
