Geocache Description:




The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the cache you must solve the following puzzle.

During my latest trip to Mexico I had plenty of time to catch up with some of my favourite authors -- Baldacci, Grisham, Deaver, and Sandford. Yes, I like crime mysteries, especially those involving Lucas Devenport and Lincoln Rhyme.

During one of my reads there were four murders with four different clues:


forty


the second


the six hundredth


17th


Add in some "scallops" and the perp can wave bye-bye to his freedom and the completion of his plot!

For a successful denouement, solve the puzzle to come up with the correct "code" to crack the case and find the final cache location. Enter the solution (Format = Abcdefg123) into the Geochecker.
