The Spanish title, El Cuarto Mono, refers to the famous proverbial image of the three wise monkeys: "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Barker introduces a terrifying fourth figure: "Do no evil." This twist on the ancient maxim serves as the philosophical backbone for a killer known only as "The 4MK" (Four Monkey Killer).
