Summary
Mark Darrow grew up in a small Ohio town with no real advantages beyond his intelligence and athletic ability. But thanks to the intervention of Lionel Farrâa professor at Caldwell, the local collegeâDarrow became an excellent student and, later, a superb trial lawyer. Now Farr asks his still-youthful protĂ©gĂ© for a life-altering favor. An embezzlement scandal has threatened Caldwellâs very existenceâwould Darrow consider becoming its new president?
Darrow accepts, but returning to his alma mater opens old wounds. Sixteen years ago, on the night of his greatest triumph as Caldwellâs star quarterback, he discovered the body of a black female student named Angela Hall at the base of the Spire, the bell tower that dominates the leafy campus. His best friend, Steve Tillman, was charged with Angelaâs murder and ultimately sent to prison for life. But now, even as Darrow begins the daunting task of leading Caldwell, he discovers that the case against his friend left crucial questions unanswered. Despite his new obligationsâand his deepening attachment to Farrâs beautiful though troubled daughterâDarrow begins his own inquiry into the murder. Soon he becomes convinced that Angelaâs killer is still at large, but only when another mysterious death occurs does he understand that his own life is at risk.
