Publisher Comments:

Critical Praise for Jane Haddam's Gregor Demarkian novels

"Haddam plays the mystery game like a master!" - Chicago Tribune on A Great Day for the Deadly

"An engrossingly complex mystery that should win further acclaim for its talented author." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on True Believers

"Devotees of strongly written, intelligent mysteries will be pleased that Haddam remains hard at work." - Booklist on Conspiracy Theory

"Dazzlingly ingenious, Jane Haddam's novels provide style, humor and philosophy blended with gore galore - they're real spellbinders, sparklingly written and smashingly plotted." - The Drood Review on Festival of Deaths

"Fresh...suspects and victim who are as fascinating and entertaining as the recurring cast...Riveting!" - January Magazine on Somebody Else's Music

"Sophisticated style, excellent delivery, and riveting plot." - Library Journal on Skeleton Key

Review:

"Campus politics and intrigue intermingle with sex, suicide and possibly murder in Haddams searing 20th Gregor Demarkian mystery.[A] compelling portrait of a closed society rife with sleeze under its veneer of respectibility and prestige."  --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

(Publishers Weekly)

Synopsis:

At the Windsor School, an exclusive prep school in Connecticut, a student is found hanged in the cellar after rumors of an affair with the headmaster's wife.
