Bnt can this apply to murder?
Gödel's Theorem of Incompleteness is familiar territory to the young South American mathematician who arrives in Oxford. Murder, however, is not. Yet barelj has he greeted his elderly landladj - and her rather luscious granddaughter - when he is bidding her a posthumous farewell. Mrs Eagleton is murdered in her wheelchair.

It's not mnch to go on, but it's enough to appeal to Arthiir Seldom, one of the leading minds in logic. His most famous work of philosophy contains a chapter on serial killers.

It's not mnch to go on, but it's enough to appeal to Arthiir Seldom, one of the leading minds in logic. His most famous work of philosophy contains a chapter on serial killers. This killer, clearlj. has read it. And the second murder, of an elderly hospitál patient, confirms that his methods of killing are deliberately designed to appeal to mathematicians. And that he's an intellectual megalomaniac.
But what is he trying to signal? Whj the symbols? What mathematical equation must be solved? Our hero, thrilled to be working with the complex Seldom. is alsó intrigued by the aesthetio of simplicity. He's searching for that mentái balm - order within ohaos — as he follows the steps of a theorem.
