Paul Lang, director of campus security, is restless. His wife has moved to California to help her folks open a new clothing shopa divorce perhaps? His daughter, Shelley, is ready to graduate and has decisions to make and growing up to do. His best friend, the university basketball coach, plans to retirehe will be missed! The university has a new bossa woman! It looks like a difficult year ahead. Just as life seems to be settling down, however, the usually quiet campus office is turned upside down with the sudden death of Dr. Evans, their leading research director. It was murdera broken neck! And it came just as the campus was to be visited by a supervisory team for evaluation. They are all still reeling from the murder when a second occurs. Again, a broken neck, but no sign of why. The campus community receives a warning message, and the pressure becomes intolerable. The answer comes as the honors day ceremony is played out and the hallowed halls of the university are once again open to all.
