Un enigmático profesor de lógica propone a sus alumnos descifrar el siguiente enigma: Polly, una joven con un largo historial de agresiones sufridas por su pareja, ha desaparecido; si los alumnos no consiguen descifrar su paradero, Polly morirá. Aunque, en apariencia, el enigma no parece más que un juego de razonamiento, las primeras pesquisas pronto revelarán extrañas conexiones con la realidad: una joven ha desaparecido en circunstancias muy parecidas. ¿Dónde acaba el juego y empieza la realidad? Los alumnos pronto se verán atrapados en un juego de difícil solución. This book had me thoroughly confused. It waz interesting, the description of a college course in logic. Students running around like crazy to solve the mystery they were given, before the girl it's all about dies. And then this seemingly 'simple' assignment gets interrupted by students that work hard solving the problem. And from that time my confusion started. I had difficulty following the who is who to whom, who did what and why. Nevertheless the end was interesting, unexpected. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
“With superb confidence, Lavender constructs a brilliant fictional web of lies, inventively warping the psychological thriller to fit the confines of a scholarly investigation.” —Kirkus Reviews When the students in Winchester University’s Logic and Reasoning 204 arrive for their first day of class, they are greeted not with a syllabus or texts, but with a startling assignment from Professor Williams: Find a hypothetical missing girl named Polly. If after being given a series of clues and details the class has not found her before the end of the term in six weeks, she will be murdered. At first the students are as intrigued by the premise of their puzzle as they are wary of the strange and slightly creepy Professor Williams. But as they delve deeper into the mystery, they begin to wonder: Is the Polly story simply a logic exercise, designed to teach them rational thinking skills, or could it be something more sinister and dangerous? The mystery soon takes over the lives of three students as they find disturbing connections between Polly and themselves. Characters that were supposedly fictitious begin to emerge in reality. Soon, the boundary between the classroom assignment and the real world becomes blurred—and the students wonder if it is their own lives they are being asked to save. From the Hardcover edition.
