In 1924, he thought he wanted to retire, but once a detective, always a detective. After his last taste of solving a murder, Richard Wikki wants to get back in the field. Fortunately (or unfortunately), there’s been another suspicious death, and this time, it’s one of Scott Judson’s Wolf’s Head secret society brothers at Yale University. The police rule it accidental alcohol poisoning, but Richard’s gut tells him otherwise. When four more of Scott’s friends turn up dead at the same party, leaving only one survivor, Richard knows it’s no coincidence. There’s something suspicious going on, and he will leave no stone unturned until he uncovers the truth.

Meanwhile, Maize has sweet-talked her way into a secret ghostwriting job on Yale’s all-male newspaper. While selling ads for the Yale Daily News, she catches the attention of Tommy Mulhaney. She doesn’t realize that her charming new nemesis is the nephew and successor to the notorious crime lord of New Haven’s Irish Mob, Seth Mulhaney. While Maize heads deeper into unknown territory, Richard’s case takes a turn. Nothing is what it seems.
