A Dead Man's Honor

Professor Stuart, a crime historian, is spending a year in Virginia researching a lynching that her grandmother witnessed as a young girl, and ghosts seem to be haunting her dreams and her waking hours in A Dead Man's Honor, the second Lizzie Stuart mystery by criminal justice scholar Frankie Y. Bailey (Death's Favorite Child). Another professor at the university is murdered, the police chief steps up his amorous attentions toward Lizzie, and she endangers herself by becoming involved in an investigation that could uncover police corruption.
