Headhunting (Patrick Berry)

Published weekly by expert constructor Peter Gordon, the Fireball crossword is famous for being hard. How hard? Well, in the words of Peter Gordon, if you need to ask, too hard for you! It is not regularly a meta crossword, but does feature a contest or meta puzzle several times throughout the year. Available here for a subscription: http://www.fireballcrosswords.com

Agree with Meg. Patrick's metas are just like his regular puzzles - not a hair out of place!

I "headed" down the wrong path at first but got there in the end! A beauty.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
