About
This literary thriller set at Oxford University puts talented mathematics student G at the center of a murder mystery sparked by the discovery of hidden secrets in the life of famed author Lewis Carroll.
Mathematics student G is trying to resurrect his studies, which is proving difficult as he finds himself drawn into investigating a series of mysterious crimes. When Kristen, a researcher hired by the Lewis Carroll Brotherhood, makes a startling new discovery concerning pages torn from Carroll's diary, she hesitates to reveal to her employers a hitherto unknown chapter in his life. Oxford would be rocked to its core if the truth about Lewis Carroll's relationship with Alice Liddell-the real Alice-were brought to light.
After Kristen is involved in a surreal accident and members of the Brotherhood are anonymously sent salacious photographs of Alice, G joins forces with Kristen as they begin to confront that sinister powers that are at work. More pictures are received, and it becomes clear that a murderer is stalking anyone who shows too much interest in uncovering certain aspects of Lewis Carroll's life.
G must stretch his mathematical mind to its limits to solve the mystery and understand the cryptic workings of the Brotherhood. Until then, nobody-not even G himself-is safe.
A thrilling novel inspired by true, strange stories from Lewis Caroll's life, The Oxford Brotherhood is sure to make you curiouser and curiouser.
"A well-researched literary thriller, dripping with Oxonian atmosphere, this is also an absorbing detective story."
"I love a good mystery set in the halls of academe-an intellectual puzzler with emotional substance….Martínez assuredly steers the plot to a conclusion that is equally preposterous as it is inevitable. That's the mark of a writer who's spent decades steeped in mystery plot twists."
"Ochlan, an Audie Award-winning voice actor and dialect coach, moves nimbly in this one-man play between the multiple characters' accents: Argentine, Scottish, British. This brainy and utterly consuming thriller is the long-awaited English-language sequel to Martínez's 2003 "The Oxford Murders."
"Quirky, unashamedly intellectual, sexy, this is a truly ingenious story, brilliantly paced, and finely translated by Alberto Manguel. A worthy successor to the stupendous The Oxford Murders."
"A winning combination of highbrow book chat and hijinks."
