Best known as the ‘taman shud case’, after a  tiny piece of rolled-up paper with these words printed on it was found  sewn into the dead man’s pocket, the case has baffled police for decades.  The phrase \u003cem\u003etaman shud\u003c\/em\u003e means ‘it is finished’ and is from the last page of  a collection of poems called \u003cem\u003eThe Rubaiyat\u003c\/em\u003e by Omar Khayyam, which was  extremely popular in Australia at that time. The central theme of these  poems is that one should live life to the full and have no regrets when it  ends. As a result, police initially thought the man had committed suicide.  With no hard evidence to back this theory and a raft of mysterious clues  that have pointed detectives in other directions that have all led nowhere,  the case remains unsolved. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThis case is as strange as a John Le Carre plot, but as author Kerry  Greenwood makes clear, the strangest part is that whoever killed him  removed all possible ways of identifying him, but left him in full public  view so that he had to be found. Greenwood delves into the police and  coroner’s files to find out why. In the process she uncovers new clues and  finally cracks the code that was printed inside the famous copy of \u003cem\u003eThe  Rubaiyat\u003c\/em\u003e. But has she solved the case? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41093615288417,"sku":"9781742233505","price":17.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/0a7ed0de1170b24af59d4b55e679d849.png?v=1701226863","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781742233505-tamam-shud","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
