The mystery of the murder of graduate student Jane Britton cast a dark shadow over Harvard University for half a century. Rumors murmured around campus explored the possible suspects that the Cambridge Police Department allegedly never looked into. Could the young aspiring archaeologist have been killed by a professor she had a secret affair with? Student sleuth, Becky Cooper, who found herself at Harvard more than 40 years after the murder, knew the answers were there somewhere.
