«La cuarta verdad» is the historical mystery novel by Iain Pears, published by Salamandra Publicacions Y Edicions in paperback (573 pages, in Spanish).
In seventeenth-century Oxford, a professor dies of poisoning and his maid is accused of the crime. Four witnesses offer different versions of the events, though only one can be true. The novel blends investigation with the debate between faith and reason, and raises the difficulty of knowing the truth.
The novel «La cuarta verdad» was originally published as An Instance of the Fingerpost (1997). The Spanish translation is by María Martoccia and the book belongs to Salamandra's Narrativa collection.
A read for those seeking mystery plots, academic atmosphere, and multifaceted narration.
Iain George Pears is an English art historian, novelist and journalist.
