When Professor Archibald Whitmore vanishes from his locked rooms at All Souls College, Oxford, the authorities dismiss it as the eccentricity of a reclusive scholar. But his colleague fears something far more sinister—especially as the Professor was days away from announcing a discovery that could revolutionize medieval studies and prove worth a fortune.
Summoned to investigate, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson journey by rail to the ancient spires of Oxford, where they find themselves navigating a world of competing academic ambitions, forged manuscripts, and intellectual rivalry that conceals a darker purpose. The brilliant Dr. Klaus Steiner dismisses the missing professor's theories with theatrical contempt. The young American scholar Thaddeus Crane has suddenly departed for London with a mysterious crate. And somewhere, a distinguished philologist remains hidden—whether by choice or by force, Holmes must determine before time runs out.
As the investigation leads from Oxford's medieval libraries to abandoned crypts and ruined abbeys, Holmes faces adversaries who believe their erudition makes them untouchable. But in a case where knowledge itself has been corrupted, even brilliance can become a weapon.
