Summary
When Dr. George Gherkin, president of Fergus Falls State University, is killed at a faculty party he was hosting, it is up to local sheriff Palmer Knutson to determine which disgruntled guest disturbed the peace of this quiet Minnesota town with murder.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Could something like murder happen in Fergus Fallsâa quiet Minnesota town known for its Scandinavian heritage and great lake fishing? Yah, you betcha!
Every August Dr. George Gherkin, the Fergus Falls State University president, hosts a faculty party. It's tradition for George to lock himself inside the kitchen to prepare his signature dish. But instead of Chicken Kiev, the guests find their chef with a meat cleaver buried in his head.
All the guests are suspects. There's Sally Ann Pennwright, Gherkin's scorned secretary and former mistress; Sherwin Williams, the assistant professor of Art who's been denied tenure for years; and Francis Olson, the athletic director whose attempt to leave Fergus Falls was thwarted by Gherkin. Everyone has an ax to grind with the selfserving, manipulative university president. Can the small-town sheriffâwho hasn't handled a homicide case in his entire careerâsolve this unsavory crime?
