A Murder Too Many

Academic conferences can be full of petty squabbles—and sometimes, not-so-petty ones. . . . “There are few detective-story writers so consistently good.” —Sunday Times Professor Andrew Basnett has returned to his old university for a meeting of the Botanical Association, an event that should be entirely benign, aside from the usual inflated egos and bickering.
