«Asesinato en Grub Street» is the historical mystery novel by Bruce Alexander, published by Edhasa in hardback (448 pages).
The blind judge Sir John Fielding and his assistant Jeremy Proctor investigate the death of a publisher and his assistants. The clues point to a rural poet found with a bloodstained axe and to an American religious community with antisemitic tendencies in London. The protagonist's blindness makes the investigation advance through smells, textures and sounds, in eighteenth-century London.
Second instalment of the «Sir John Fielding» series, in the Polar collection, translated by Pere Muñoz. Originally published as «Murder in Grub Street» in 1995.
For fans of historical fiction and period mystery, with a blind protagonist who investigates guided by sound, smell and touch.
Alexander Bruce (1854–1911) was a Scottish surgeon, neurologist and editor and publisher of The Review of Neurology and Psychiatry. He was an early advocate of the now largely discredited use of electrotherapy in the treatment of mental health disorders.
