As a young man, Sacker studied medicine at St Bartholomews before joining the British Army, where he was attached as a surgeon to the Berkshire Regiment of Foot. It was specifically feet that led to his dismissal, following an odd number (both in quantity and circumstance) of amputation errors. To this day, he stands by his assertion that \"left\" and \"right\" are subjective terms that depend upon which end of the table one is standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis military training, international travels, and experience of curious crime, together with an intimate relationship with the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, have given him a unique view of the world. Such a character is clearly the ideal author of a book of Holmes-based conundrums and problems. Ormond Sacker is sometimes mixed up. At such times, he is no card smoker and lives in cranked rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSales Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA unique new form of puzzle book, in which the reader must solve the riddles to escape the pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCombines riddles, logic puzzles, timed challenges, mathematical brain-teasers, maps and mazes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTies into the popular trend for Escape Rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull colour throughout with 25 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Bateman Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46220757205228,"sku":"9781781453483","price":18.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781781453483.jpg?v=1740639921"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/o-sacker.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
