Synopses & Reviews
A series of pranks prompts Notre Dame's administration to turn once again to brothers Roger and Philip Knight. They appear to be related to a eccentric scholar's claim that the land on which the university stands was stolen from the Indians. The pranks turn serious: at a football game against the FSU Seminoles, one stunt is aired on national TV, and the university president is kidnapped. But before the Knights can get to the root of these malicious acts, the scholar turns up dead, an Indian headdress wrapped around his bloody head.
All in all, it is a delicious installment in a wonderfully crafted series.
