"Tinkers is truly remarkable. It achieves and sustains a unique fusion of language and perception. Its fine touch plays over the textured richnesses of very modest lives, evoking again and again a frisson of deep recognition, a sense of primal encounter with the brilliant, elusive world of the senses. It confers on the reader the best privilege fiction can afford, the illusion of ghostly proximity to other human souls." Marilynne Robinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gilead and Home "Tinkers is not just a novel _ though it is a brilliant novel. Its an instruction manual on how to look at nearly everything.Read this book and marvel."Elizabeth McCracken "Tinkers is a remarkable piece of work." Barry Unsworth

Sir John Cranston, forense de la ciudad de Londres, investiga el horrible asesinato de un poderoso mercader. Para ello cuenta con la ayuda de un curioso monje dominico, fray Athelstan, que trabaja en

El hallazgo del cadáver de un ciudadano francés en un sórdido edificio conocido como El dominio del diablo, da pie a todo tipo de especulaciones. Cranston, Athelstan y un colaborador muy especial seran los encargados de desentrañar el nuevo misterio.

Durante el verano de 1380, sir John Craston y fray Athelstan reciben el encargo de investigar el misterioso asesinato de Edwin Chapler, escribano de la Cancillería de la Cera Verde. Esta es la primera de una serie de muertes en las que el asesino entabla una macabra partida con las victimas y con el talento del propio fray Athelstan.

A finales del otoño de 1380, al avispado fray Athelstan vuelve está con los preparativos de la tradicional representación de un misterio de Navidad. Mientras, durante una enloquecida fiesta en una fonda, se produce el hallazgo de los cadáveres de una familia de prostitutas y se le encarga la investigación a John Cranston que, como no, vuelve a recurrir a la ayuda de Fray Athelstan. Atheltan deberá enfrentarse a una investigación complicada: por una parte, la aparición de nuevos cadáveres, y por otra, el descubrimiento de un enigma del pasado remoto que probablemente esté vinculado, de alguna manera, a estas muertes y, todo eso sin olvidar, claro está, los problemas que siempre le crean sus peculiares feligreses.

En una cama colocada en el salón de su casa, yace George Washington Crosby esperando la muerte, que se aproxima de forma inexorable. Mientras agoniza y antes de que su mundo se desmorone y apague para siempre, empieza a recuperar gradualmente retazos de su pasado que emergen entre las alucinaciones que la enfermedad le causa. George, que durante buena parte de su vida ha sido un metodico relojero, ahora ya no tiene problemas para saltarse las restricciones temporales y reconstruir sus recuerdos siguiendo el libre dictado de su mente. Asi que vuelve la vista setenta años atras para evocar su dura infancia y la huidiza figura de su padre, un vendedor ambulante que padecia ataques de epilepsia y recorria en carro los hermosos paisajes de la vieja Nueva Inglaterra. Una sorprendente y arriesgada obra sobre el tiempo y la memoria que crece lentamente, pero con firmeza y con una fuerza imparable, para recrear un pasado repleto de objetos, sensaciones, lugares y parajes naturales de una belleza perturbadora.
