A Story by

 
 
Oxford, 1912. A distinguished professor collapses at the High Table of Christ Church.

The college physician calls it cardiac arrest. The Dean calls it closed. A young man with his dead father's papers calls it murder.

Oliver Fenchurch has proof that the great Professor Craithe built his career on stolen work — and he believes the timing of Craithe's death is no coincidence. He needs someone who can see what a room full of scholars missed.

Roderick Fane is twenty-seven, sharp-eyed, and hungry for his first real case. Within minutes of entering the Great Hall, he sees what a room full of scholars missed.

A Death at High Table is the prequel novella to the Fane & Blackwood Mysteries. The case that made Roderick Fane's name, before the war changed everything.

Sharp, witty detective fiction set in Edwardian Oxford — in the tradition of Dorothy L. Sayers.
