The Book of Murder
“Martínez’s novel is full of explanations and parried literary thrusts, culminating in a growing sense of understanding that order and chaos aren’t yin and yang but mirror images of each other.”

A chilling new tale of literary intrigue from the author of the award-winning novel 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 follow-up: 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.
