«Los archivos de Salem» is the medical suspense novel by Robin Cook, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (399 pages, in Spanish).
At the end of the 17th century, in Salem, Elizabeth Stewart is executed accused of witchcraft. Three centuries later, nurse Kim Stewart inherits her ancestor's estate and moves there with Edward, a scientific researcher. The discovery of fungi with apparent therapeutic properties leads Edward and his team to set up a laboratory to develop them as a drug, while Kim investigates the historical archives and discovers that Elizabeth used those fungi in her culinary preparations before being led to the stake. The work explores whether these substances can awaken the most primal instincts.
Novel originally published in English as Acceptable Risk in 1995, translated into Spanish by Eduardo G. Murillo.
Recommended for readers of medical and historical thrillers seeking a plot that combines science, witchcraft, and suspense.
