Kurzbeschreibung
Mid-winter in Upstate New York . . . the usual cold and mounds of snow at Tennyson College, but now over-shadowed by the unexpected death of an in-your-face professor of religious studies who insists that humans created God. The small-town police detective thinks it's murder, and his prime suspect is Henry Carey, a political science professor at the college. Henry's world suddenly careens from class-rooms discussion of George Bush's recent election to frantic efforts to conjure up explanations for how Stanley Hoard came to die. Explanations that make someone else the murderer. Henry is good at hypothesizing, but the detective seems to make a fetish out of hard evidence. Henry's wife Gerri tires to keep Henry grounded in reality. To make him understand that nominating others for police scrutiny is sure to alienate the innocent and compel the guilty to strike back. But she, too, becomes caught up in his mania--to the peril of both.
