About this case

Prescott University, 2003. Chemistry professor Dr. Eleanor Whitmore is found dead in Laboratory 312 shortly before a conference presentation. Research records are missing, access logs conflict with statements, and the university has powerful reasons to avoid scrutiny. Reconstruct the night from laboratory records, witness accounts and financial documents. Separate what happened to the research from what happened to its author, and build a case that explains both. Six linked deductions demand more than identifying someone with a motive.

Setting: Prescott University, 2003
