Cambridge, 1888. Miss Vanessa Duncan, a young schoolmistress, is enjoying her work and the intellectual atmosphere that pervades the town when things take a dramatic turn with the murder of a Fellow of Mathematics.Intrigued by the circumstances surrounding his death, and Sir Isaac Newton s unsolved n-body problem upon which the man had been working, Vanessa is drawn into the mystery with a theory of her own.
What an excellent concept Shaw had for her novel. Take an attractive but shy young British woman from the country and drop her down in the bustle and intellectual energy of Cambridge in 1888 An original and fascinating story. --Chicago Tribune
