Sobre este artículo
New York: Viking Penguin, 2008. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. A bibliomystery in which a young Argentinian writer finds himself involved in the story of Lucianna, his former assistant, who has been until recently employed by Kloster, an older author of bestselling mysteries. Nearly all of Luciana's close family except her sister have died in unusual circumstances and she believes she or her sister could be next. She blames Kloster and the younge writer can see her story and Kloster's latest mystery mirror each other. The question for the young writer -- which came first, the murders or the novel? A remainder mark on the bottom edge of the text, and bottom edge of text and boards show some small, light stains, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; the dustjacket shows very minimal surface and edgewear, no tears, no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped.
Sinopsis
A chilling new tale of literary intrigue from the author of the international sensation The Oxford Murders When Guillermo Martínez 's novel The Oxford Murders was first published in the United States, The New York Times Book Review called it "a scholarly whodunit [for] anyone who loves a good mystery." Now Martínez returns with a worthy followup: the mesmerizing The Book of Murder . A young writer finds himself unexpectedly tangled up in the story of Luciana, his former assistant and Kloster, bestselling author and rival. What he discovers about the deaths surrounding Luciana will make him question everything he had always believed-and taken for granted-about chance and calculation, cause and effect.
