An intellectual thriller set in the Oxford of the 1660s, a time of great ferment - intellectual, religious and political. The action takes place around the suspicious death of Robert Grove, a Fellow of New College. Oxford, 1660s. A scholar is dead, a woman stands accused, and four men tell their versions of the truth. Each testimony contradicts the last - and only one reveals what truly happened. Pears’ sweeping novel combines intellectual intrigue with page-turning mystery. An Instance of the Fingerpost is a triumph of storytelling: erudite, immersive and utterly gripping. ‘A novel that combines the simple pleasures of Agatha Christie with the intellectual subtlety of Umberto Eco’ The Times
