The Edith Wharton Murders

Chaos hits the bucolic State University of Michigan when two bitterly rival Edith Wharton societies are brought together for the same conference. Its reluctant organizer and host, assistant professor Nick Hoffman, got bullied into the role and couldn't say no because he's desperate for tenure. His misgivings turn to panic when there's a murder, leaving Nick stuck trying to save lives and if possible, his academic career.
