Dr. Philip Emma's New Whodunit Uses Math to Solve a Murder in 'MICKEY MAUX MUDDLES A MURDER'

What happens when a scientist needs to solve a murder? He uses mathematical equations. At least, that's what Mickey Maux does...before framing the murderer.

In "Mickey Maux Muddles a Murder: And Solves Adler's Problem," by Dr. Philip Emma, the author weaves a thought-provoking whodunit, that playfully examines the grey areas of truth and deceit, in the pursuit of justice.

"This case is a puzzle within a puzzle," Emma said. "Our hero is a highly creative genius with a somewhat jaded view of the world, and he invents things to help people; all with unintended consequences, most of them comical."

Emma is a retired scientist, himself, who has published hundreds of articles and contributed to multiple books on technology. He taught at several universities and is a well-known lecturer, columnist and expert witness for patent litigation.

"The solution to the crime uses a well-known mathematical construct about deducing fact, based on information taken from someone who lies and from someone who tells the truth," Emma said," without knowing which is which."
