The Bird
Thursday, December 10, 1936
Oxfordshire, England

I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to.
-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

“The wiry-framed fellow looked the part of a typical Oxford don: stylish and elegant in a burgundy vest and pressed trousers, topped with a tailored tweed jacket, perfectly cuffed with monogrammed links.“

•Synopsis•

J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Agatha Christie, and other literary legends join forces to unravel a deadly conspiracy in this gripping mystery that sweeps from the halls of Oxford to the streets of London and the shores of Loch Ness.

In the shadowy streets of 1936 Oxford, England, members of a secret society keep turning up dead. When J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and their fellow literary masterminds, known as the Inklings, are called upon to catch a killer, they trade their pens for magnifying glasses. With time running out, they get a helping hand from mystery writers Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers to unravel a sinister web of secrets.

Packed with historical details, intrigue, and a thrilling whodunit, this novel is a masterful blend of high-stakes drama. Dive into a world where the creators of fantasy and mystery confront a real-life menace in a race against the clock. Will dark forces prevail, or will these literary giants crack the case before the murderer strikes again?
