The Killer Isn't Near Mali

Your best friend George is accused of murder. The police have one suspect. You have 5,200. At his apartment, his wife is dead, George is missing, and all the evidence points to him. But you know he's innocent. Among the clues found at the scene are a cryptic note ("The Killer Isn't Near Mali"), 17 clues, and a USB stick containing a file with 5,200 suspects. Each suspect has 8 attributes: first name, shoe size, special trait, means of transport, murder weapon, time of murder, hair color, and motive. Using logic and deduction, you must eliminate everyone who matches one of the first 16 clues. Then, clue 17 - the final clue, an anagram - helps reveal the killer. This puzzle book is part murder mystery, part logic puzzle, and part treasure hunt. The police have stopped looking. Now it's up to you. Can you solve the case and prove George's innocence? He's counting on you.
