A silenced scholar. A city paved with injustice.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen mysterious symbols appear as graffiti around Oxford, lexicographer Martha Thornhill recognises them from a runic alphabet created by a deceased fantasy writer whose papers she once worked on. But this is no publicity stunt, and tensions intensify when further graffiti is found near the body of a university lecturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartha is not the only one to have doubts when the suspicious death is assumed by police to be a suicide.
