When Mrs. Sheila Malory leaves her cat and English Village to teach a literature course at a small American College, she finds herself right at home. There she meets Professor Carl Loring and his curator brother, Max, who, between them, have destroyed more reputations, committed more character assassinations, and killed more careers than anyone cares to count. So when Max and Carl are found dead, itโs only natural for Mrs. Malory to plunge into this emotional case to help Police Lieutenant Mike Landis catch a killer.
While clues are few, motive and suspects abound. There is the gorgeous graduate student who had been sexually harassed. The soft-spoken writing professor whose future had been jeopardized. And the powerful local businesswoman who may have blown millions on a forged work of art. Step by step, Mrs. Malory and Lieutenant Landis, who share a passion for Shakespeare, venture into the dark byways of double murder to uncover the shocking truth.
