St Severin's college Oxford is split over plans to sell an ancient manuscript with connections to Alfred the Great. With another vote on the matter looming and the college Warden missing, several of the faculty call for the Visitor who just happens to be Lord Peter Wimsey, now also known as the Duke of Denver.
His Grace, wife Harriet Vane and their faithful manservant Bunter travel to Oxford and between then uncover a seething fury beneath the veneer of the gentlemen scholars, and more than one murder.
N.B This is the second of Jill Patton Walsh's continuation of Dorothy L Sayers beloved series.
