Reviews

Set in and around colleges and universities, the 17 new stories and one reprint in this top-notch anthology explore the forbidding side of academia. As Block (the Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries) notes in his droll introduction, each of the varied, well-told tales is as individual as fingerprints. Among the standouts are David Morrell's devious Requiem for a Homecoming, in which two alumni cast suspicion on each other while debating a 20-year-old murder; Ian Rankin's riveting The Reasoners, concerning the cover-up of a murder at a secret society in an ancient British university; and Reed Farrel Coleman's chilling An Even Three, about a psychopath at a liberal arts college. Elsewhere, themes veer from rivalry, rape, and survival of the fittest, to plagiarism, academic ghostwriting, and unsavory alternative employment beyond the ivy-covered walls. Creepy oddities include Owen King's tale of heroism, That Golden Way, A.J. Hartley's supernatural Rounded with a Sleep, and Jane Hamilton's superlative Writing Maeve Dubinsky, about the appropriation of another person's work. Crime fiction fans won't want to miss this exemplary compilation. -Publishers Weekly's starred review
