About the book
A dark psychological mystery novel. >The troubles at Hollymount College were far from academic. >Exclusive Hollymount College... never had an unpleasant incident tarnished the reputation of this venerable institution. When Kevin Boyle -English professor and unabashed womanizer - is found brutally murdered, the school's president is singularly reluctant to talk to the press. Not so Molly Morrison, a student who dramatically confesses her guilt-and her passion for the deceased. In a stunningly original showdown, Kate Innes, a spunky student with a thirst for the truth, exposes the dark shadows that lurk behind Hollymount's staid facade.
