Synopsis: There&’s a corpse on campus in this mystery from an Agatha Award finalist who&’s &“a rare breed of writer&” (The Plain Dealer). Melanie Travis loves her teaching job at Connecticut&’s elite Howard Academy, where plans are underway for a Spring Pageant to honor the school&’s fiftieth anniversary. Immersed in the preparations, Melanie is hurrying to retrieve a painting of one of the illustrious co-founders when she comes upon a disturbing scene: Eugene Krebbs, the Academy&’s elderly caretaker, is arguing loudly with a girl half his size. Before Melanie can learn more than the girl&’s first name—Jane—she disappears. It&’s clear that Jane isn&’t a student at Howard Academy, so what is she doing there? Melanie doesn&’t have a chance to answer that question before more problems arise. Two days later, Krebbs is discovered stabbed to death right on the school grounds. Now Melanie is embroiled in a full-fledged homicide investigation as she tries to find out who&’s added murder to the school's curriculum. &“Fans of Miranda James&’ Cat in the Stacks series may also enjoy Berenson.&”—Booklist &“If you like dogs, you&’ll love Laurien Berenson&’s Melanie Travis mysteries!&”—Joanne Fluke, New York Times-bestselling author of the Hannah Swensen series
