About this title

Synopsis

On a year's sabbatical at Harvard, Kate Fansler must apply all her academic brilliance and diplomatic finesse to trace the murderer of Harvard's first tenured female English professor

Review

Carolyn Heilbrun began writing intellectual, subtly political mysteries under the pseudonym of Amanda Cross as a professor of English at Columbia University in New York. This classic example of Heilbrun's rare combination of talents finds Kate Fansler--professor of English at Harvard, another Ivy League college slightly to the north of Columbia--trying to discover who poisoned a newly-appointed female professor and why her body was left in a men's room.
