Studying at the (fictional) State University of Michigan can be murder---at least in Lev Raphael's brittle, bright and bitchy books about Nick Hoffman. Hoffman teaches in the university's EAR (English, American Studies, Rhetoric) department, and is very popular with his students. However, he has just turned 40 and is seriously worried about getting tenure. Also, his supervisors tend to view him as an under-published scholar, and, with some justification, a walking crime zone. The truth is that Nick attracts murder like a magnet. This time out, a student named Jesse Benevento-- son of a history professor--is stabbed to death before Nick's very eyes during a campus riot. Nick and his novelist lover Stefan Borowski are sucked into a case that turns even uglier when a second murder occurs. As Nick struggles to solve the murders, his colleagues whine and bicker, a graduate student stalks him and more violence erupts on campus. If you like the way Raphael puts the camp into campus, his two previous titles, The Edith Wharton Murders, and Let's Get Criminal are both available in paperback. --Dick Adler
