About the book
St. Michaels College is known for its prestige and grandeur, but is currently in a state of disrepair that is quite alarming. In order to raise funds for the school, the College Master decides to organize a weekend fundraising event for wealthy alumni. However, things take a turn for the worse when the wealthy and beautiful Lexy Durant is found brutally murdered.
Lexy, who was known for her dramatic personality, seemed to provoke jealousy, envy, and animosity in those around her. Chief Inspector St. Just must navigate through conflicting egos and potential suspects - including Lexy's financially struggling Latino boyfriend, her ex-husband who left her, and a volatile Texan who was spurned by the victim. As he digs deeper, he uncovers dark secrets and a shocking revelation.
