In 1994 a society of Oxford scholars devoted to Lewis Carroll prepares an edition of his journals. Kristen Hill, a junior researcher collecting the manuscripts, believes she has solved the mystery of a page that went missing long ago, yet she never manages to present her find. One crime follows another, as if someone wanted the secret buried, and the deaths seem to echo Alice. Arthur Seldom, an eminent logician in the society, teams up with a young maths student to read the pattern.
