The police call it a case of misadventure, but Professor Monroe suspects something more sinister. He abandons his nearly finished book, crucial for his promotion, to scour the campus for clues. Suffering professionally, he is nevertheless relentless in getting to the truth about the president's death.

With an everyman sleuth who is smart, funny, a little distracted, and committed to his students and research, Murder 101 reveals the dubious priorities of a modern Canadian university and the actions of a ruthless killer. If Professor Monroe is to unravel this mystery, he'll need to survive his curiosity and cultivate a community he can trust.
