The True Crime Collection | The Unsolved Files

Some crimes are solved by a single clue. These twelve never were.

A message left at a chess club sends an insurance agent across Liverpool to an address that does not exist. When he comes home, his wife is dead.

On the last night of a millennium, a stranger kills a family in their Tokyo home and then stays for hours, leaving behind his blood, his clothes and his fingerprints. He has never been named.

A dead man in a Missouri cornfield carries two pages of code that the FBI’s own cryptanalysts cannot break.

A young mother vanishes from a hospital parking lot, and for four years a man keeps calling her parents.

In The Unsolved Files, Colin Ashford takes you inside twelve extraordinary real cases from Europe, North America and Japan. Some are famous in their own countries and barely known beyond them. Others have haunted detectives, journalists and amateur sleuths for generations. Every chapter is grounded in the documented record, with no invented dialogue and no neat solutions forced onto mysteries that refuse them.

Inside you will find:

• A Bavarian farm where someone seems to have lived among the dead for days


• A survivor put on trial forty-four years after the night he survived


• Poisoned capsules waiting on ordinary store shelves


• Anonymous letters that kept arriving after their supposed author went to prison


• Masked gunmen who terrorized a country and then simply disappeared


• A prime minister walking home from the cinema without his bodyguards

Written with the suspense of a crime novel and the honesty of real history, The Unsolved Files is for readers who love mystery, true crime, and the unsettling feeling of a puzzle that is still open.
