MEET PEGGY O'NEILL, A CAMPUS COP WITH A PH.D. IN MURDER
An outraged call from the distinguished Professor Warren sent rookie campus cop Peggy O'Neill hurrying over to the frat houses to get the stereos turned down. But someone had already solved the professor's hearing problem - by smashing in his skull with a hammer. The city cops want to blame a computer thief. But Peggy isn't so easily convinced. Her own investigation uncovers a murderous mix of faculty orgies, poetry readings, and some very devoted female teaching assistants. Now Peggy's getting close enough to the truth to face her own 'final exam' ...

The corpse of a distinguished professor of English, Adam Warren, is found in his office by rookie campus cop Peggy O'Neill. The conditions of his death are grisly: his skull was crushed by a hammer. Though evidence suggests that Warren has been killed by a thief surprised in the act of stealing a computer, O'Neill strikes out on her own to explore other possibilities. Her search leads her to suspects within the university community, including Warren's secretary, Doris Parker; his colleague and former protege, poet Lee Pierce; and Jack Becker, a specialist in criminology. O'Neill is drawn simplistically and superficially, and Lake provides some diverting plot twists.

Crime on campus - this time the faculty is into more mischief than the students. Peggy O'Neill "helps" the local cops with their investigation and the complications are both humorous and dangerous.
