An Unlikely Murder

About the Book

When his exasperating friend is suspected of murdering a university vice-chancellor, Owen Cheney puts down his teacup and his needlepoint in order to lend a helping hand. Advancing by hunch and hearsay, the unaccustomed sleuth carries his investigation through the curious by-ways of the college town and learns at last that his suspicions were on target when he finds himself at the barrel end of a revolver.
