John Charter is cajoled by his former wife Sophie into abandoning an Irish fishing trip to instead spend his vacation investigating a series of hoaxes on the Coleridge and Other Romantic Poets Society. The intrigue starts in Venice during a Byron-Shelley tour of Italy, continues in the London Library and the Royal Institution, and culminates in murder and mayhem during an academic conference at Norman Abbey.
