Rating: 4 (2 reviews)

At Beaufort College in Oxford, the annual Commemoration Night turns chaotic. First, a prank involving Professor Benchley’s newly acquired mummy of King Pepy I spirals into danger, then a fire consumes the Bursary where Benchley resides. The coroner declares accidental death, but only one body is found in the ashes, leaving the disappearance of either Benchley or the mummy unresolved. Profs. Sargent and Considine, compelled by the incongruity of the verdict, take to investigation. Armed with their scholarly expertise, they probe the strange circumstances that bind academia, antiquity, and a sudden inferno, weaving a detective tale set within the eccentric corridors of Oxford’s campus.
