FINAL EXAM

Who would want to kill a college? As a series of grisly murders unfolds at a small, elite school, that question slowly rises to the top. Told from three distinct points of view—those of the staid college president, a wise-guy English professor, and a young but insightful security guard—this novel explores hidden facets of a unique, fictional institution, while also posing questions about the nature of liberal arts education and those variously involved in its progress.
