«Le cercle de la croix» is the historical mystery novel by Iain Pears, published by Belfond-Le Grand Livre du Mois in hardback (613 pages, in French).
Set in Oxford in the 1660s, the plot follows Sarah Blundy, a young woman accused of murdering Robert Grove, a fellow of New College. Four witnesses with very different interests —Marco da Cola, Jack Prescott, John Wallis and Anthony Wood— offer their versions of events, and only one reveals the truth.
The work was originally published as «An Instance of the Fingerpost» in 1997; this French edition appeared in 1998 and the work won the Martin Beck Award in 1999.
Fans of historical fiction and mystery, especially plots set in the seventeenth-century academic world with multiple narrators.
Iain George Pears is an English art historian, novelist and journalist.
