MYSTERY
a lesson in murder
Clues in a series of murders on a Pennsylvania college campus
seem to be lifted from a literary classic...
When a wealthy benefactor and alumnus of Eastern Friends School
in Pennsylvania is found murdered, details at the scene prompt
Lt. Frank DiSalvo to introduce himself at a faculty meeting.
There he meets Maxwell Hunter, an English teacher who likes to
lecture about the mysteries of literature. At first, DiSalvo
brushes off Hunter’s offer of help, but when the second
EFS-connected murder is discovered, he changes his mind.
With his sharp eye for detail, and uncanny ability to assemble
the pieces of the picture, Hunter identifies the literary modus
operandi… but can he predict the next attack time to prevent
another murder?
