Murder at Georgia Tech...

... in the form of a mystery novel - link here.

The setting for this novel is Georgia Tech, a highly respected university located in Atlanta, Georgia. For more than 115 years, it has molded leaders in our society. Most of the tens of thousands of alumni are touted with pride. A few Ms. Rose name’s in this story are not in this group. Theirs is another story called “Halls of Poison Ivy.”

When a graduate student is murdered in the president’s office several people become nervous and a few turn vicious. Is it possible that the killing occurred because of international laundering of “gifts” to the institution? Or, does it relate to the president’s affair with a lovely coed or, maybe it was just a case of mistaken identity. With the rather unusual and sometimes confounding help of a homeless man, Detective Wes Wesley of the Atlanta Police Department attempts to untangle this enigma.
