Murder at Number 2 is a 2013 by Chris Pig, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a narrow alley packed with brick buildings. Inside one window, a person is lying on the floor. Another window has a figure slumped over a table. A sign on a door reads "PRINCE" and a streetlamp leans crookedly near a shadowy corner. The whole scene is drawn in stark black and white, with thick, uneven lines. The artist used a simple but bold style—no shading, just flat black shapes against white. The chaos of the alley and the odd angles make it feel like a puzzle.
