Book excerpt: Imogen Quy, the school nurse at St. Agatha's College, Cambridge, is intelligent, compassionate, and inquisitive - her last name rhymes with why. Imogen takes an active interest in her patients: In fact, trying to keep students out of danger has a way of getting Imogen into it. This time that student is her friend and boarder, Fran Bullion. Fran innocently undertakes to complete the biography of a mathematician, a seemingly simple task that was begun by three other biographers but never finished. Seemingly simple, that is, until curiosity drives Imogen to discover that the first three scholars met with untimely ends. What is it about the obscure genius of Gideon Summerfield - now dead himself - that could drive someone to murder? A dazzling new academic mystery, starring school nurse/sleuth Imogen Quy. Imogen tackles the seemingly simple question of why a mathematician's biography was started by three writers but never finished. Her investigation reveals that the first three scholars met with untimely ends--and now another is missing.
