(Paperback)

When woman-hating Clifton College professor Charles Haycock is poisoned with his own heart medication, P.I. Estelle "Woody" Woodhaven is hired to find the killer. She enlists the help of amateur sleuth Kate Fansler, and together they start to pull at the loose ends of the tangled English department. Woody soon suspects they're only scratching the surface of a very large and sinister plot.
