"The Master? Dr. Greeby? You don't say so! Murdered? Dear me! Poor Greeby! This will upset my whole day's work."
An Oxford Master is slain on campus during Pentecost. A headmaster faces off in a deadly battle of wits with a disgruntled parent. A sixth-form public school prank courts a murderous consequence.
Theft, blackmail, murder, and mystery run amok through the hush of the university library, the cacophonies of school corridors, and the simmering tensions of the staff room.
