description: ACADEMIC SLEUTH BEN REESE INVESTIGATES A CASE OF MURDER AMONG FRIENDS.The sudden death of rich, generous Scottish professor Georgina Fletcher seems like a tragic accident. Indeed, American archivist Ben Reese can scarcely believe that it was not. But Georgina had foreseen her death and had laid down a secret trail of evidence pointing to a hardhearted murder committed by someone with much to gain if she died--or to lose if she lived. Was it the brilliant sculptor Georgina had supported? The beautiful student who is also her heir? Her late husband's business associates? Or a jealous colleague in her own department? It appears that someone very close to her not only killed with fiendish cleverness but wants to ensnare Ben like a blind rat in a live trap--from which he'll never escape....
