This job, and beingin the top 10 percent of her class, means she&’ll be able to land her dream job when she graduates. But at the moment, she has an even bigger problem to deal with . . .After Malhousie&’s editor in chief, super-student Susan Green, is found bludgeoned to death, strangers—curious reporters, angry professors, and high-profile lawyers—keep snooping around the office. Then another editor fights to take Susan&’s position, only to meet the same grisly end. Willa knows she must find out quickly who&’s killing her fellow students and why—because, as the new editor in chief, she could be next . . . Praise for the Willa Jansson Mysteries &“Willa Jansson is one of the most articulate and surely the wittiest of women sleuths at large in the genre.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“Readers will be shaken by Matera&’s rapier-sharp dissection of personal relationships and radical ideologies. Matera again demonstrates that she is one of today&’s best mystery writers.&” —Publishers Weekly
