In the latest from the bestselling author of Murder on
St. Nicholas Avenue, former police sergeant Frank Malloy
and his wife adjust to life in New York high society as they
investigate a death in the field of higher learning...
After spending his first few weeks as a private detective by
investigating infidelities of the wealthy, Frank has a more
serious case at hand.
Abigail Northrup of Tarrytown, New York, was her parents’
pride and joy. After graduating from a prestigious women’s
college in Morningside Heights, she took a job there as an
instructor. She also joined the ranks of the New Women,
ladies planning for a life without a husband in which they
make their own decisions and make a difference in the world.
Unfortunately, her murder ended all that.
When the police declare the incident a random attack and
refuse to investigate further, Abigail’s parents request
Frank’s help. Of course, he’ll need Sarah’s assistance as
she’s more familiar with the world of academia, and it will
be far easier for her to interview the lady professors. Yet
difficulties arise as they learn that although Miss Northrup
may have been an exemplary student and teacher, she lived in
a world of secrets and lies…
