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, it’s 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.
