Who killed Professor Pyke McKenna Or was it suicide He was certainly beloved by many in the College community, but he also had plenty of enemies. In this novel, his colleague Bruce Cahill attempts to reconstruct the mystery through an examination of his life, interviewing and reminiscing with his students, lovers, and associates. The drama plays out on the stage of a small town in the middle of wild prairie country, at a small college populated by an assortment of misfits, strivers, and disillusioned scholars, very much like the denizens of pagan legend, trying to forge their way in a confusing world.
A native of America's heartland, Richard A. Larson is a chemistry researcher and teacher who has spent many years at a large public institution of higher education in the Midwestern United States. He has edited or authored several technical books in the field of organic and environmental chemistry. This is his first novel.
