Death Calls the Tune

Peggy O'Neill Mystery #10

by M.D. Lake

Campus cop Peggy O'Neill doesn't hesitate to chase burglars alone in the middle of the night along the ivied walls of academia, but she isn't at all happy about being ordered to investigate the death of Evan Turner, former director of the University's music school. Peggy is a reluctant investigator until she meets the dead man's daughter, who doesn't believe her father's death was an accident or suicide. So Peggy digs into Turner's life, and learns not only that he'd made bitter enemies within the music school, but he'd also gotten himself involved with a gang of thieves -- one of whom just may have led him to a fatal encounter with the past.
