The death of a constant lover

Description

**From Amazon.com:** **The Nick Hoffman Mysteries Book 3** ***Lust and Literature*** Academic politics turn steamy at the State University of Michigan when Delaney Kildare--a buffed, studly graduate student--starts making waves among the faculty. What's his story? What does he want? What will he do to get it? Amateur sleuth Nick Hoffman, an English professor, finds his career and his happy menage with writer Stefan Borowski suddenly threatened by the turmoil spreading around Kildare. Where does it all lead? Scandal and murder, of course. "Nick Hoffman mows does intellectual pretenders with scathing wit." *The New York Times Book Review* "A witty and devastating backstage view of college life." *San Diego Star-Tribune* "Darkly amusing...This is sneaky, subversive fun." Publishers Weekly "Elegantly skewers ivory-tower pretensions, petty politics, incompetencies, and hypocrisies...A delight for confirmed and new fans alike." Booklist "Surprising and deeply felt...Raphael's strongest work yet." *Kirkus Reviews* "A stylish mystery with an intimate look at the jungle of academia...Witty, impeccably written." *The Mystery Review*

Description

"He'd been warned to avoid trouble: Nick Hoffman's outspoken attitude and reputation for being in the wrong place at the wrong time had placed his career in jeopardy. But what trouble could be caused by eating lunch?"--BOOK JACKET. "It was his partner Stefan's idea that Nick eat near the campus bridge over the Michigan River once in a while, something to help him get over the nightmares of the murder two years earlier. Nick's involvement had brought publicity, bad publicity, to EAR (the Department of English, American Studies, and Rhetoric), as well as to the State University of Michigan, and not done very much for his staying on a tenure track. With his review coming up soon, Nick didn't need any distractions...and he certainly didn't need to see the person lying dead on the bridge."--BOOK JACKET. "Forced to wade ever deeper into the events set in motion by another death on campus, inexorably drawn into another risky investigation in the surprisingly cutthroat world of academia - where murder and faculty meetings are often difficult to tell apart - Nick's job isn't the only thing that may be on the line."--BOOK JACKET.
