Synopsis
The University of Notre Dame is gearing up for a highly anticipated football game. Baylor University, the country's preeminent Protestant college, will meet the Catholic champions of Notre Dame for the first time. As the gameday approaches, campus scholars plan a theological conference about Catholic and Protestant history.Soon sparks fly, and the brothers Roger and Philip Knight are swept into a web of religious and athletic fervor. When a murder shakes the campus, Roger (a professor) and Philip (a private eye) must work in very different ways to find the killer. Then Notre Dame's famed, brilliant, and troubled quarterback mysteriously disappears and evidence links him to the crime.

From Booklist
Hazel Nootin, a faceless but nevertheless unpleasant bureaucrat in the Notre Dame convention office, is brutally murdered. Her death occurs as the university is preparing for a football game with Baptist flagship Baylor University and a ballyhooed conference between the respective theological departments. Notre Dame hires private investigator Phillip Knight, whose brother Roger will be the keynote speaker at the conference. Among the suspects are an alcoholic Notre Dame public-relations flack, a sometimes violent husband, and a frustrated ex-Catholic. McInery, whose Father Dowling mysteries have delighted readers for years, has struck gold again in the Brothers Knight. The Nero Wolfe-Archie Goodwin relationship between the two is an endless delight, especially since they are on equal footing, unlike Stout's pair. McInery's 40-year Notre Dame career is the basis for the profound understanding of university life that underpins this well-plotted, very amusing mystery. Wes Lukowsky
