Murder in Morningside Heights



After graduating from a prestigious women's college in Morningside Heights, Abigail Northrup joined their staff as an instructor. She also joined the ranks of the New Women--ladies planning for a life without a husband in which they make their own decisions and make a difference in the world.

When the police declare the incident a random attack and refuse to investigate further, Frank takes the case. And since Sarah is more familiar with the world of academia, he'll need her help to interview the lady professors. Yet difficulties arise as they learn that while Abigail may have been an exemplary student and teacher, she lived in a world of secrets and lies...
