This book is full of interest right from page one. It is set in Portland State University where Ed. Ashley, a Custodian, level two works the night shift. He discovers a Professor and the Dean in the showers together at 2 a.m. doing things they should only do in private. He rushes out unseen and instead of reporting it to security he takes it on his own shoulders to try and keep it quiet, that is until the Dean decides to outsource the Custodians work in an attempt to get rid of the onlooker. From this point the story takes on an audacious twist and Ed. for all his troubles, ends up as a suspect in a double murder plot. The storyline is very realistic and it is exciting all the way through and is compelling reading to say the very least. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery.
