Anton de Moresco's whodunnit, set in the strange, cloistered environment of the University of Isleworth,
will be a revelation to all those unfamiliar with Britain's oldest university and the area of West London which
houses its ancient campus.
Professor Gerrish Gray realises that his job at Britain's oldest university is threatened after an American academic claims that the Isleworth Madonna is a fake. Then Gray finds a corpse in the Snakenborg Gallery.
What else can go wrong? Plenty, it turns out, as the Isleworth University Police, the so-called Bulls, blunder into the investigation.
Embellished with many scholarly footnotes, this book will perplex even the most sophisticated reader.
Anton de Moresco is McGonagall Professor of Experimental Prosody at the University of Isleworth.
