The Oxford Murders

A young American mathematics student named Martin arrives at Oxford University with hopes of meeting and studying under his idol, Arthur Seldom, a renowned professor of logic. Shortly after his arrival, Martin finds himself entangled in a murder mystery when he and Seldom discover the body of Martin's landlady, a former professor at the university. Seldom receives an anonymous note containing a mysterious symbol, suggesting that the murder is part of a series of planned killings. As Martin and Seldom delve into the investigation, they uncover connections between the murders and a sequence of mathematical symbols, which the killer uses as a cryptic signature.

As the investigation progresses, tensions rise and suspicions shift among the characters. Martin collaborates closely with Seldom, hoping to solve the cryptic clues and prevent further murders. The deeper they dig, the more complex and layered the mystery becomes, involving elements of philosophical debate, mathematical theory, and personal vendettas. The pursuit of the truth leads them to question their own beliefs and motives, blurring the lines between logic and madness. Fighting against time and the increasingly enigmatic events, Martin must navigate the treacherous waters of academic politics, personal conflicts, and a cunning adversary who always seems one step ahead.
