It is 1868. At De Vere College, Cambridge, the dons discuss Darwin, God, new literature and the fledgling Shakespeare Authorship Question. But the librarian's blood is seeping from under his oak door, and the ancient manuscripts he had found are gone.
Why has he been brutally murdered? Why do other deaths follow? Who is seeking the fabled monastic treasure, and who wants to keep it hidden?
Dr Simon Weatherspoon investigates. Is he entirely the respectable young clergyman he seems to be? When his extra-curricular life is disclosed, how will it define him in the eyes of feminist critic Theresa Brown?
And can he reach the college treasure before the murderer reaches him?
