The Labcoat

by Larry D. Soderquist

The body of a professor lies sprawled on the stairs in the chemistry building of normally tranquil Mellon University. At first the death appears to be from a simple heart attack. But then Eric Berg, a theology professor and former military police officer who helps the campus police, is called into the case. Berg's investigation reveals a rushed cremation, an all-too-calm widow, and one lone piece of evidence - a labcoat worn by the victim. He also discovers his attraction to the young female detective he works with, and a dangerous web of temptation, falsehood, injustice, and overwhelming ambition.
