But armed with a handful of rebellious colleagues, the poetry of W. H. Auden, and her new fiancé, she is not one to give up. Kate is willing to fight to the death for her college, but only a miracle - or perhaps a murder - can save their beloved institution . . .Littered with verses of Auden, Amanda Cross’ Poetic Justice is a passionate and gripping mystery.’Kate Fansler is the most appealing detective since Lord Peter Wimsey . . . the treasure at the center of all Cross’s cerebral puzzles’ Newsweek
