Death by Degrees — Eric Wright

LITERALLY--AND FIGURATIVELY--DEAD

The politics and infighting to elect a new dean at Toronto's Bathurst College turns to murder when the winner is discovered dead.

Though the case appears open-and-shut--an interrupted burglary and a suspect neatly arrested--Inspector Charlie Salter believes otherwise when he begins investigating anonymous notes warning that the killer lurks in the groves of academe.

Scandal, blackmail and layers of deception line the corridors at the college...all the way to the dark truth surrounding the killer's identity.
