Synopsis: Skulduggery is afoot in the campur library at Midwestern University. Students are razoring pages from periodicals and stealing obscure essays for their term papers. An enterprising thief is making a bundle smuggling out valuable first editions for resale. And in the South Tower, a killer is stalking a coed. Even so, Propfessor Beth Austin is shocked, and intrigued, to find a handsome FBI agent in the English Department. Soon the two have joined forces, delving into the lives of her eccentrix colleagues...and straying into the dark shadows of the groves of academe, where someone’s hands are certain to be stained with blood.
