After one of her best friends is murdered inside St. Priscilla’s University basement archive, referred to by employees as the Tomb, Amanda Winters sets out to help Detective Roy Staatz find the killer. Amanda enlists the support of husband Terry, son Jeff, and her endearingly kooky Aunt Sally as she goes about her investigation while struggling to overcome an assortment of phobias and anxieties known as cluster C. Amanda’s sleuthing takes her from one of the most prestigious universities in the East Valley where she’s working in the English Department helping graduate students polish their theses, through gang-infested Phoenix neighborhoods, and to a remote Supai Village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Can Amanda find the killer before there’s another campus casualty? The answer lies within the pages of Deadly Degree.
