Beneath its calm surface, controversy rages at the State
University of Michigan. An outsider, Perry Cross, has been brought in to
fill a quickly created tenure-track teaching position, a situation that
fellow professor Nick Hoffman finds suspicious. But when Nick discovers
that his longtime lover, writer Stefan Borowski, shares a past with Cross,
Nick's curiosity about Cross begins to verge on obsession. Things only
get worse when Cross is found murdered and Nick's jealous behavior and
Stefan's past make them both prime suspects.
To clear both their names and resolve the questions surrounding the
mysterious Cross, Nick investigates the murder, uncovering unpleasant secrets
about his coworkers, superiors, and the university itself. As Nick attempts
to unravel the mystery, his suspicions alarmingly turn close to home, and
his own life is endangered.
