Farberville, Arkansas is playing host to its first
ever mystery convention. Sponsored by the Thurber Farber
Foundation and held at Farber College, Murder Comes to
Campus is playing host to five major mystery writers
representing all areas of the field. Dragooned into
running the show when the original organizer is
hospitalized, local bookseller Claire Malloy finds herself
in the midst of a barely controlled disaster. Not only do
each of the writers present their own set of
idiosyncrasies and difficulties (including one who arrives
with her cat Wimple in tow), the feared, distrusted, and
disliked mystery editor of Paradigm House, Roxanne Small,
puts in a surprise appearance at the conference. Added to
Claire's own love-life woes with local police detective
Peter Rosen, things have never been worse.
Then
when one of the attendees dies in a suspicious car
accident, Wimple the cat disappears from Claire's home,
and Roxanne Small is nowhere to be found, it becomes
evident that the murder mystery is more than a literary
genre.
