Superintendent Dalziel had a somewhat cynical view of what college administrations spent his taxes on. But when he and that over-educated Sergeant of his, Pascoe, were sent to investigate a disinterred corpse at Holm Coultram College, he hadn't reckoned on a rash of fresh killings. While Pascoe rekindled an old flame on the staff, protesting students identified Dalziel as a 'fascist pig'. The Superintendent smiled with satisfaction...if that's how they wanted to play it.

"Nicely done. Lengthy exposition ( guess authors need it too complicated for readers to figure far in advance) but the main characters make it work. Dalziel is quite a piece of work!" — Robert (4 out of 5 stars)
