Fed up with the bullying tactics of an egotistical math professor, Dean Paul Steinman decides to take matters into his own hands to end Peter Whites reign of terror on a small University of Wisconsin campus. Things get complicated, however, as another man confesses to his murder, additional perpetrators surface, and Steinmans perfect crime begins to unravel in the wake of Detective Frederick Jamesons relentless search to piece together the clues. This academic murder mystery, which consciously references Dostoyevsky and Andr Gide, combines suspense, dark humor, surprising plot twists and a little romance to weave a postmodern fable of over-reaching altruism.
