"When convention chair Sally Fromberger lands in the hospital on the eve of Farberville College's "Murder Comes to Campus" conference, resourceful bookseller Claire Malloy grudgingly takes over. Claire is overwhelmed with personal problems, the latest of which include the betrayal of her police chief boyfriend, Peter, and the various temper tantrums of her teenage daughter, Caron. Despite all this, Claire has the convention planned and its visiting authors put in their proper places before you can say, "whodunit." But when a custodian from the local inn and a famed book editor are found murdered, both Claire's patience and her sleuthing skills are put to the test." A Claire Malloy mystery by Joan Hess
