The second light-hearted novel in the Richard Patterson
series finds Richard, a hapless, middle-aged academic in
a central London university, involved in a possible
murder mystery.Led on by Sara, his young and energetic friend, they search for the truth behind the apparent suicide of the university's HR Director.
Richard, not a natural detective, bumbles self-effacingly
through the investigation as they crisscross the university and a regenerating South London, repeatedly stumbling across badgers, a mysterious Director of Studies and a strange cohort of students. Set within the confines of crime and intrigue, the themes of loneliness, purpose and identity gently underpin the story.
