Scholarly Executions

P.I. Bertrand McAbee, former classics professor, has a knack for finding trouble in unlikely places.  Baden College in Iowa is a pretty famous center of higher education.  But a problem haunts the campus, a string of disappearances over many years.  McAbee is hired as a substitute classics professor and has one semester to find out whether or not the disappearances are sinister in nature.  What he finds will bring him to the brink of death.
