The Calculus Affair (French: L'Affaire Tournesol) is the eighteenth of The Adventures of Tintin.
Some, such as Benoit Peeters, in his book Tintin and the World of Hergé have labelled this as the greatest of the series. The Tintin website dubbs The Calculus Affair as the most "detective-like" of the whole series.
The story is supposedly set several months after Tintin and his friends have returned from the Moon. Tintin and Captain Haddock are on a stroll in the countryside around Marlinspike, but are suddenly caught out by an approaching thunderstorm and rush back to the manor.
Events take a mysterious turn during the storm. Inside Marlinspike, several items of glass within the house mysteriously break for no apparent reason. Then, Jolyon Wagg, a somewhat annoyingly gregarious and impolite insurance lender, turns up uninvited to seek shelter. He claims that all the windows of his car have somehow blown to bits.
Once the storm passes, Wagg leaves, but gunshots are heard from outside, and Wagg is found hiding in the bushes. Another man is also found injured but then disappears. In the midst of the mystery, Professor Calculus, returns to the house that night with bullet holes in his hat. Calculus, somewhat apathetic to the whole series of events, leaves the following day to attend a conference in Geneva.
