A mysterious disappearance. A dangerous bookstore. A gathering of suspicious characters at a country estate. Will a living gargoyle and an alchemist be able to unravel the clues before more lives are claimed by poisoned pages?
Dorian Robert-Houdin has always preferred to stay hidden, with only a select few aware of his existence. When a treacherous book from his past reemerges, he joins forces with his closest ally, alchemist Zoe Faust, on a journey from Oregon to England to delve into the mystery.
As they arrive in England, Dorian witnesses a murder in the misty streets of Oxford. However, when he brings Zoe to the scene, there is no body to be found - and no signs of a crime. Utilizing his unique abilities as a gargoyle, Dorian sets out to uncover the truth behind a perplexing crime that others refuse to believe happened.
As they uncover a deceased man in a bookstore filled with deadly books, Dorian and Zoe realize that the victim is connected to the enigmatic crime scene. Their investigation leads them to a gathering of book lovers at a country estate, where tensions run high. Could the killer be the erratic Agatha Christie enthusiast? The standoffish literature professor? The guarded rare book specialist? With a deceitful book thief on the loose, Dorian and Zoe must race against time to expose the murderer before they become the next victims in this deadly game.
