The Fellowship Of Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr

After the death of the brilliant puzzle maker who raised him in a quirky fellowship of codebreakers and crossword fiends, a socially awkward young man turns twenty-five and receives a final trail of ciphers, crosswords, and riddles meant to reveal the truth of his origins. Following the clues through the group’s tangled past and his own fears, he navigates grief, identity, and belonging, discovering how community and curiosity can piece a life together.
