Have you ever been robbed, directly or by some high-tech snafu or manipulation?  Are you positive you could plan the perfect crime (even though you'd never carry it out)?  Or do you think that given all the clues you could solve any crime, outsmart any criminal?  Well, here's your chance to match your wits with the pros who took up the challenge of creating and solving crimes that have not yet occurred.  They run the gamut from low-tech to high, from activities against entire societies to one-on-one, completely personal crimes.  Let sixteen master sleuths take you along on their crime beats future style with such cases as:  

___He could tell the suitcase was valuable the minute he saw the foreigners fighting over it, but could a hill country native outsmart men equipped with the latest ways to deal death?

___The play's the thing...and even holographic actors should be able to help him convict the people he was certain had caused his father's death...

___When his computer systems began to malfunction, what choice did he have but to let the building repairman in---but was he letting in a rescuer or a destroyer?
