A group of educators band together to absolve an art major suspected of murder in acclaimed author Victoria Gilbert’s second Campus Sleuth mystery.

When a young woman is murdered during a summer orientation event at Clarion University, art student Caleb Hall becomes the prime suspect. But campus psychologist Zach Flynn, who treated Caleb in his private practice, believes he’s being targeted because of his ongoing mental health struggles. Spurred by his suspicions, Zach recruits writing tutor and author Jenn Dalton to help. 

Joined by cafeteria manager Christine Kubiak, librarian Bri Rowley, and professor Emily Moore, Jenn and Zach—still bantering and navigating their on-again, off-again relationship—investigate the case to prove Caleb’s innocence and find the real killer. 

The amateur sleuths soon discover that the search could put more than just their careers at risk. They’ll have to decide if they’re willing to put their safety on the line. Because a killer that strikes once often strikes again.
