When poet Richard Cadogan decides to spend his holidays in Oxford
after a disagreement with his greedy publisher, he can't possibly
imagine that the first thing he'll find there will be the corpse of
a woman on the floor of a toy shop. Things only get stranger when
he escorts police back to the scene of the crime, only to discover
that the toy shop has disappeared and that it has been replaced by
a grocery store. Cadogan enlists the help of English professor and
amateur detective Gervase Fen, and the bookish duo face an
impossible murder, clues in the form of an absurd poem, and wild
persecutions through the city--all of which make for a testament to
the unusual. "Cuando el poeta Richard Cadogan decide pasar sus
vacaciones en Oxford luego de una disputa con su editor avaro, no
se puede imaginar que lo primero que va a encontrar alli sera el
cuerpo de una mujer muerta en el suelo de una jugueteria. Las cosas
solo se ponen mas extranas cuando acompana a la policia a la escena
del crimen, solo para descubrir que la jugueteria ha desaparecido y
que ha sido reemplazada por un mercado. Cadogan busca la ayuda del
profesor de ingles y detective aficionado Gervase Fen, y el duo
libresco se enfrenta a un asesinato imposible, pistas en forma de
un poema absurdo y persecuciones salvajes por la ciudad--todo lo
cual suma a un testamento de lo inusual."
