Title: Kate is actually asked to investigate by the university
Review: Dr. Canfield Adams egotistical chair of the Islamic studies department is found dead on the pavement below his office window. The police see no reason to suspect foul play, but anyone who has met the man knows that he is the last person in the world to commit suicide. There are many suspects, but the police have locked in on the most unlikely, Kate's friend Humphrey Egereton. Adams resented the fact that Egereton's black students would use an office in his building for meetings. Kate is pressured into investigating by her friend in the administration, Edna, who tells Kate that she is the only one who can solve the matter discreetly.I found myself unable to put this book down. It was by far the quickest read of all Cross' novels. The story has many twists and turns and a surprise ending that I didn't expect at all.
