About the book
A celebration in Oxford for university tutor and bestselling author Jason Verdoot, attended by DCI St. Just and his fiancée Portia, is a night to remember . . . for all the wrong reasons.
University of Oxford tutor and bestselling author Jason Verdoodt has everything: fame, wealth, and romance . . . but also a few enemies. When his body is discovered at the bottom of a staircase during a party at St Rumwold's College, many speculate whether jealousy over his literary achievements has led someone to commit murder.
Detective Chief Inspector Arthur St. Just finds himself pulled into an investigation that leads him through the ancient streets of Oxford and into the prestigious university. Working alongside his partner, crime writer Portia De'Ath, St. Just uncovers several potential motives for killing the celebrated yet arrogant Jason - whose upcoming book could pose a threat to many in his circle - and plenty of individuals with a grudge since his first novel. Could someone have decided to seek revenge through a deadly storyline?
