On December 1, 1948 a body was found lying on Adelaide’s Somerton Beach. All the labels were missing from his clothing, he had no identification and his dental records did not match any known person. A piece of paper with the printed words “Tamam Shud” on it was discovered in a secret pocket concealed within the dead man’s trousers. The scrap was traced to a rare edition of a book entitled The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a code was on the back. The case was never solved.
