type mysteries. "Alec  Cawthorne" is also the name of a film writer for the BBC. The name  Alec Cawthorne is virtually an anagram for "Or Michael Caine". To  achieve the spelling, flip the W in Cawthorne upside down to get  the M in Michael, and separate the horizontal and vertical lines  in the letter T to get the two Is needed... one in mIchael and  one in caIne. The rest of the letters fall naturally into place.
