Meet the Penningtons: Lyssa, Ph. D. Economics, and her husband "the handsome Brit" Kyle, Ph. D. Computer Science. When their clever minds ask questions, clever killers can't hide. Murder never entered the picture until Fritz Van Derzee decided, at long last, to clear his name. Who stuck a jeweled stiletto into his desktop after stabbing him to death? Fritz's daughter, Emma, recruits her former professor Lyssa Pennington to find the killer. But where's the ten million Fritz was falsely accused of embezzling? Tompkins College President, Justin Cushman, hires his old friend Kyle Pennington to trace the missing money. While Lyssa uses charm and tenacity on the long list of suspects, Kyle reconstructs the college's old homegrown finance system. As they converge on the killer, Lyssa and Kyle may be the next two casualties.
