Cambridge, año 1888. Tres profesores de la universidad han sido asesinados misteriosamente cuando investigaban EL PROBLEMA DE LOS TRES CUERPOS, un enigma matemático que Sir Isaac Newton fue el primero en plantear. Vanessa Duncan es una joven institutriz que ha empezado a trabajar recientemente en la ciudad universitaria como maestra de niñas. Gracias a las familias para las que trabaja, tiene la oportunidad de relacionarse con las más privilegiadas mentes matemáticas de la prestigiosa universidad. Además, el momento no podría ser más emocionante: todos se hallan inmersos en la investigación del problema de los tres cuerpos. El rey Óscar de Suecua ha decidido que para su 60 aniversario concederá un sustancial premio a aquel matemático que consiga resolver el problema, que fue planteado por vez primera por Isaac Newton. Sin embargo, todo da un giro inesperado cuando el profesor adjunto de matemáticas, Akers, es encontrado muerto en sus habitaciones de un violento golpe en la nuca y el enamorado de la srta Duncan, otro matemático llamado Weatherburn, es acusado del crimen. Vanessa se verá empujada a una inesperada aventura que la llevará por media Europa en busca del verdadero culpable en una carrera desesperada en contra de la horca. La incógnita Newton es una novela trepidante y de lectura compulsiva que nos transporta a la fascinante Inglaterra victoriana.
