\n\u201cSet in a beautifully rendered Northern Vermont college town, this terrific page-turner centers on the\xa0murder\xa0of the school\u2019s president, an\xa0academic\xa0superstar seemingly beyond reproach.\xa0 But was he really?\xa0 The characters are a vivid if unsettling mix of locals, academics and townsfolk. One of them is obsessed with the Holocaust.\xa0 Another is obsessed with homicide\u2013committing one that is.\xa0 So curl up and get started. Just make sure all the doors are locked.\u201d--Sebastian Stuart, author of\xa0The Hour Between,\xa0The Mentor,\xa0To the Manor Dead,\xa0Dead by Any Other Name, and\xa0What Wasn\u2019t I Thinking?\xa0
