He was political, she was correct. He was an ex-cop, she considered policemen an unnecessary danger to people like her . or anybody. It was not a relationship made in heaven. But no one would think of Briarpatch College in that context, much less the isolated community of Middleville. Still, faculty and students alike were shocked when the dean was found dead. As the investigation uncovered more and more suspects, it became clear that the campus contained more complex personalities and more tangled relationships than anyone had suspected.

In the fall semester of 1995 Professor Donahue and Chief Biggs investigated the watery demise of Dean Wooda, murdered as part of an insurance scam intended to resolve Briarpatch College's financial problems. Now, only a few months later, they have it all to do over again. Another murder, it appeared. But who did it? And how? Donahue's on-and-off romance of Mary is off again. Can murder bring them together once more? Or will it drive them apart for good? The college's future looks good, thanks to media coverage of the earlier trial-everyone wanted a campus tour that included the sites...

Briarpatch College has all the problems of American higher education in the nineties, at least as many as can be packed onto one small semirural campus. Unfortunately, Briarpatch also has had a multitude of other problems the administration would rather not admit. In the last few years, the academic dean has drowned, the president has died suspiciously, and one scandal after another has rocked the college--all events allegedly instigated by the late dean. Now with a new president in place and the college operating on a somewhat normal routine again, no one has any idea that in just a short...
