The Late Scholar
When Peter discovers that as the Duke of Denver he is the Visitor - that is, the ultimate regulator - of St Severin's College, and the fellows appeal to him to solve a dispute, he and Harriet set off happily to spend some time in Oxford, the city of their engagement and wedding. But the dispute turns out to be embittered. It concerns a valuable manuscript that some of the fellows regard as nothing but an insurance liability which shoud be sold to finance a speculative purchase of land. The voting is evenly balanced between the party that would sell and the party that would keep it - evenly balanced, that is, until several of the fellows unexpectedly die. And the causes of death of the deceased fellows bear an uncanny resemblance to the murder methods in Peter's past cases - methods that Harriet has used in her published novels.
