A paperback sensation in Argentina, Spain, and the United
Kingdom, The Oxford Murders has been hailed as "a remarkable
feat" (Time Out London) and its author as "one of
Argentina’s most distinctive voices" (The Times Literary
Supplement).
A visiting Argentine graduate student finds his landlady
-- an elderly woman who helped decipher the Enigma Code
during World War II -- murdered in the parlor of her quiet
Oxford home. Meanwhile, his mentor, the renowned Oxford
logician Arthur Seldom receives an anonymous note bearing a
circle and the words "the first of a series." As the murders
and the list of suspects begin to pile up and more symbols
are revealed, the pair is drawn further into a calculated
and deadly game. It would appear that someone is using these
deaths to illustrate a mathematical theorem. And it is up to
these two unlikely detectives to solve the puzzle before the
killer strikes again.
