Il professor Felix McClure, anziano professore universitario in pensione viene assassinato con un'unica violentissima pugnalata.

L'Hotel Haworth di Oxford offre pacchetti turistici allettanti, e poiché è un albergo discreto e frequentato da una clientela mista, non lo disdegnano anche coppie clandestine. Così non è un fatto straordinario che per il Capodanno in maschera (tre giorni di divertimenti, a prezzo scontato per chi accetti la sistemazione nella dépendance) capitino in stanze contigue i misteriosi Ballard, gli sfuggenti Smith e l'eccitante signora Palmer con quel marito tanto più anziano di lei - per tacere della quarta camera di quel padiglione staccato, disdetta all'ultimo da una signora.

Un cadavere orrendamente mutilato emerge dalle acque di un bucolico canale che costeggia la periferia di Oxford. Si tratta di un corpo privo della testa, delle mani, delle gambe. Scoprire l’identità della vittima, prima ancora di quella dell’assassino: sarà questa la sfida fondamentale per l’ispettore Morse e il sergente Lewis. E le tracce, un biglietto nella tasca del morto, portano inequivocabilmente all’Università.
