This literary thriller set at Oxford University puts talented mathematics student G at the center of a murder mystery sparked by the discovery of hidden secrets in the life of famed author Lewis Carroll.
Mathematics student G is trying to resurrect his studies, which is proving difficult as he finds himself drawn into investigating a series of mysterious crimes. When Kristen, a researcher hired by the Lewis Carroll Brotherhood, makes a startling new discovery concerning pages torn from Carroll’s diary, she hesitates to reveal to her employers a hitherto unknown chapter in his life. Oxford would be rocked to its core if the truth about Lewis Carroll’s relationship with Alice Liddell—the real Alice—were brought to light.
After Kristen is involved in a surreal accident and members of the Brotherhood are anonymously sent salacious photographs of Alice, G joins forces with Kristen as they begin to confront that sinister powers that are at work. More pictures are received, and it becomes clear that a murderer is stalking anyone who shows too much interest in uncovering certain aspects of Lewis Carroll’s life.
G must stretch his mathematical mind to its limits to solve the mystery and understand the cryptic workings of the Brotherhood. Until then, nobody—not even G himself—is safe.
A thrilling novel inspired by true, strange stories from Lewis Caroll’s life, The Oxford Brotherhood is sure to make you curiouser and curiouser.

“A winning combination of highbrow book chat and hijinks.”
(The Times (London))“A well-researched literary thriller, dripping with Oxonian atmosphere, this is also an absorbing detective story.”
(Sunday Times (London))“An unusual blend of murder most foul and mathematics most pure. A playful intellectual exercise.”
(Daily Mail (London))“Ochlan, an Audie Award-winning voice actor and dialect coach, moves nimbly in this one-man play between the multiple characters’ accents: Argentine, Scottish, British…[A] brainy and utterly consuming thriller.”
(New York Times (audio review))“Well crafted and deeply entertaining.”
(London Review of Books)“A good mystery set in the halls of academe—an intellectual puzzler with emotional substance….Martínez assuredly steers the plot to a conclusion that is equally preposterous as it is inevitable.”
(New York Times Book Review)“A truly ingenious story, brilliantly paced, and finely translated by Alberto Manguel.”
(The Tablet (London))“Outstanding…Martinez combines an inventive plot with characters readers will root for. Dan Brown fans looking for a literary thriller with depth will be compulsively turning the pages.”
(Publishers Weekly (starred review))
