Description:

The famous explorer, Edmund Mallory has been foully murdered, and the legendary Bloodstone, which he acquired under mysterious circumstances on his last travels, is missing. All that remains are the scattered fragments of the explorer's diary, his personal notebook and most of the contents of his ransacked study. An almost unsolvable mystery.

And yet it seems that the explorer himself expected to meet a violent end and prepared the way for you to track down his murderer and recover the Bloodstone. Unfortunately, the clues he laid have become scattered in the turmoil of his terrible death. All the information you need is there, ingeniously hidden in both text and pictures, and each strand of the mystery unravels to reveal the next.
