About this title

About the Author:

Ralph McInerny is the author of over thirty books, including the popular Father Dowling mystery series, and has taught for over forty years at the University of Notre Dame, where he is the director of the Jacques Maritain Center. He has been awarded the Bouchercon Lifetime Achievement Award, and was recently appointed to the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. He lives in South Bend, Indiana.

From Booklist:

In the fifth Roger and Philip Knight mystery, fragile Irish poet and visiting professor Martin Kilmartin is found dead in his Notre Dame office, apparently from a violent sneeze caused by the pepper sprayed on his telephone. Notre Dame professor Roger Knight and his brother, private investigator Philip Knight, investigate, while Roger decides whether or not he wants to accept the job of director of the proposed Malachy O'Neill Center of Catholic Literature. The array of suspects includes jealous colleagues, a disgruntled student, Kilmartin's fiancee, and her not-quite-ex husband. The plethora of characters with their multiple points of view along with a rather disjointed, nonlinear plotline slow the pace, but readers who appreciate academic mysteries with faculty one-upmanship, gossip, and lots of literary references, as well as Notre Dame life and lore, will find much to enjoy here. The prolific McInerny has written more than 28 books, including the popular Father Dowling mysteries. Sue O'Brien
