The Campus Murders
Um þessa hljóðbók
The coed missing from Tisquanto State is the daughter of Governor Sam Holland's rival for reelection—and best friend. But she is more than that. She is Laura Thornton, a human being—somehow the pawn and victim of angry student upheavals not even the governor understands ...
Who is behind Laura's disappearance? Who is inciting Tisquanto's protests and riots—a madcap prankster, an earnest reformer ... or a conspiracy sworn to the college's destruction?
It is a case for Mike McCall, the governor's special assistant, a two-fisted troubleshooter who finds his crimes in the crises of modern America ... Mike McCall, who finds on Tisquanto's campus not only the raging hatreds of rebelling youth—but murder!

Ellery Queen is a pseudonym used by two American cousins from Brooklyn—Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (1905–1982), and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias Manfred Bennington Lee (1905–1971)—to write detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered forty-two years, Ellery Queen served as both the authors’ name and that of the detective-hero. The cousins also cofounded and directed Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, one of the most influential English crime-fiction magazines of the twentieth century. They were given the Grand Master Award for achievements in the field of the mystery story by the Mystery Writers of America in 1961.
