Description
A powerful and thought-provoking novel by David Lagercrantz explores the life of Alan Turing, a visionary mathematician whose work was both revolutionary and forbidden. In 1954, Turing's body is found dead in his home, with evidence suggesting he took his own life. However, Detective Constable Leonard Corell soon discovers that official secrecy surrounds Turing's war record, and his sexuality may have been the cause of his death. As Corell delves deeper into the case, he becomes increasingly fascinated by Turing's genius and begins to uncover evidence of his brilliant work. But in the tense atmosphere of the Cold War, those who challenge the status quo are often silenced. This gripping mystery raises important questions about the dangers of forbidden knowledge and the consequences of prejudice. With its unique blend of history, espionage, and LGBTQ+ themes, this novel is a compelling read for anyone interested in a thought-provoking and suspenseful story.
