About This Book

What is Homer Kelly doing in England? In addition to working as a visiting lecturer at Oxford, he's playing part-time detective, trying to solve the great mysteries of life--and the death of a young priest who has left a cryptic note saying simply, "The answer is no."

As Homer sets off on his search for answers to this most real and inauspicious death, he also begins a philosophical journey far more challenging than any begun in a class-room, and discovers a crime much more sinister and troubling: God himself seems dead as a dodo. Who committed murder sublime?

Homer and his wife, Mary, are now caught up in matters at once jabberwockian and Darwinian. And their resolution may be just as challenging as the puzzle of divine existence and the disappearance of the dodo.
