Death in the Desert is a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle designed by Gene Dieckhoner. Produced as a Bits and Pieces jigsaw, it’s a mystery puzzle that includes a story booklet and challenges you to solve a crime. With a bits and pieces jigsaw, the picture on the box is the same as the picture on the jigsaw. However, the jigsaw is not straight forward as no two pieces are the same.
