A young graduate student arrives from Argentina to study mathematics in Oxford and he's barely got to know his landlady before he arrives home one day to find that she's been murdered. As he discovers the body he meets Arthur Seldom, Professor of Logic at the University. Seldom has been brought to the house by a note bearing a mathematical symbol and the words "the first of the series". His most famous work of philosophy includes a chapter on serial killers and it seems that this killer is taunting him. It's only a matter of days before there's another death.

If this is the type of book that you enjoy then you might like to try Boris Akunin's [[Murder on the Leviathan]], translated from the original Russian.
