Dark Sonnet

Oxford, England. A Jesuit priest unearths a tattered poetic manuscript from the nineteenth century. Against universal scorn, he claims that it contains an elaborate word puzzle pointing to the whereabouts of the Cuxham Chalice, a priceless medieval relic.

He suddenly disappears amidst a city in turmoil over a series of brutal slayings, and two concerned friends are determined to find him. Myles Dunn, pulled from a failed life in Colorado back to his old Oxford college, joins forces with librarian Eva Bashir to unlock the manuscript’s secrets.

Battling police resistance and their own personal demons, Myles and Eva must decode the cryptic verse before the killer strikes again.
