A man is found dead on the beach dressed nicely in a suit. The best guess is that he was killed with some sort of untraceable poison. One of the few clues was a rolled up piece of paper found in a makeshift pocket that said "Tamam Shud", which means "It Is Ended". His case has baffled Australians for decades.
