Seller's Description:
San Francisco. 2005. October 2005. MacAdam/Cage. Advance Reader's Copy. Very Good in Wrappers. 1596921501. Translated from the Spanish by Sonia Soto. 197 pages. paperback. keywords: Literature Mystery Translated Argentina Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Math and murder mingle in this intriguingly cerebral mystery. When an Argentine math student at Oxford discovers the smothered body of his landlady, conventional wisdom points to a family member with the most prosaic of motives. But then renowned logician Arthur Seldom, author of a book on the mathematics of serial killers, tells of a strange note left in his mailbox indicating the murder is the first of a series linked by a mysterious pattern. More bodies pile up, apparently of natural causes, but each paired with a message bearing a new arcane symbol. Arthur and his student ponder whether the deaths are innocent or the subtle, ‘imperceptible' homicides of a madman seeking to match wits with the great logician, and they rack their brains to decipher a pattern behind the signs before another corpse turns up. Martinez, a novelist and math Ph.D., writes with a restrained, elegant style sprinkled with brief disquisitions on Gadel's theorem, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Wittgenstein's paradox, which demonstrates ‘the impossibility of establishing an unambiguous rule. ' None of that helps very much in solving the crimes, but it makes an intriguing context for the author's exploration of a fundamental mystery theme-how we impose meaningful patterns on the confusing evidence of reality and are in turn misled and blinded by those patterns. The result is a stylish, intellectually meaty whodunit. -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. inventory #35671.
