| Essentially all I know about this book is that it is a murder mystery which combines the conquest of Cyprus by Richard the Lionheart during the Crusades with a puzzle of optics posed in Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics. One of the characters investigating the intertwined mysteries is a young Greek mathematician in the 1950s.
Unfortunately, I do not read Greek and so cannot say anything else about it. If you have read this book, please write to let us know more and I will post the information here. Thanks to Vijay Fafat for bringing this work of historical fiction by a frequent author of mathematical fiction to my attention. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
