The Soul of a Genius
The new series of Lewis opens with the body of a professor being found buried in a woods outside Oxford. It turns out that he had recently purchased a rare annotated edition of Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark' for two hundred thousand pounds… far more money than he should be able to afford. The investigation is further confused by a woman running her own private investigation; she believes the case is somehow related to the death of her son, whose death she blames on his employer.
