 Professor Karen Pelletier's chance encounter with a century-old photograph leads to the discovery of a long-lost manuscript, a major bequest to Enfield College--and murder. Reviews of The Northbury Papers "Few are better than Dobson at recording the minutiae of academic committee-speak, powerplays in . . . jargon, and what ignites a classroom." Booklist (Starred Review) "A book that is true to its scene and a pleasure to read." Boston Globe |
