«El quinto en discordia» is the novel by Robertson Davies published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
The mysterious death of Canadian magnate Boy Staunton leads Dunstan Ramsay, a childhood friend, to reconstruct his own life while investigating what happened. Apparently innocent gestures, such as a snowball fight or card tricks, prove decisive in the lives of others.
This work opens the Deptford Trilogy; the English original, Fifth Business, was published in 1970. The Spanish edition, with a prologue by Valentí Puig and translation by Natalia Cervera, came out in 2006.
For readers of literary fiction and Canadian classics with intrigue and psychological development; also a common choice for reading groups.
