Description: In this satirical academic whodunit, Austin University literature professor Miriam Held recounts events of the previous fall, when she was suspected of killing Isabel Vittorio, her old lover and her new department chair. The controversial and contrary Vittorio had been attempting to block the hire of a brilliant African American professor whom Miriam championed, and as the evidence against Miriam began to mount, she and her allies went into action to find the real killer.
