|title=How Puzzles Improve Your Brain: The Surprising Science of the Playful Brain
|rating=4
|genre=Popular Science
|summary=Many people in the first flush of youth will read this book to find ways of increasing their brain power. Others - like me - at the other end of the age continuum will read because they're looking for ways to restrict or even reverse what they see as deterioration. Both groups might initially be disappointed as the title suggests that the book is about puzzles, but don't give up as the reality is far more useful. This is a book about how our brains ''work'', how the different parts interact or come into play in certain circumstances - and then there are some puzzles directed at improving performance in those areas.

Department 19 is in disarray, dealing with deaths, the disappearance of their chief Henry Seward, and the dreadful knowledge that there could be yet more traitors in the ranks.

With Zero Hour coming ever closer, can the department save the day?
