Summary: From case cover: Una anciana aparece asesinada en el salón de su casa a las afueras de Oxford. Su cuerpo es descubierto por dos hombres, Arthur Seldom, prestigioso profesor de Lógica y Martin, un joven estudiante americano recién llegado a la universidad con la intención de que el famoso profesor dirija su tesis doctoral. La muerte de la anciana no es sino el primero de una serie de asesinatos con inquietantes puntos en común. Son crímenes casi imperceptinles, que podrían incluso pasar por muertes naturales si no fuera porque cada uno de ellos viene acompañado de un mensaje: una imagen, un signo diferente en cada ocasión que, muerte a muerte, va dando forma a una serie cuya lógica deberán descifrar los protagonistas. From IMDb: Martin, a PhD student in mathematics, enrolls at Oxford in the hope of meeting his mentor, Professor Seldom. The young man manages to find lodging at Mrs. Eagleton's but in this house a stifling atmosphere prevails due to the landlady's attitude. Indeed Mrs. Eagleton, who happens to be a friend of Seldom's, is a haughty and unsympathetic woman who also stifles her daughter Beth. At the university, things do not fare much better as Martin is put in his place by his idol during one of Seldom's lectures. But his private life changes for the best as he starts an affair with Lorna, a beautiful girl he met during a game of squash. One night Seldom and Martin who find themselves at Mrs. Eagletons's discover her dead body. They are interrogated by the police. Soon afterwards they decide to lead their own private investigation.
