Abstract

Criminology professor and former cop Cyprus Keller tries to solve the murder of his graduate student—and clear his name—while running the Pittsburgh Marathon. Kirkus Reviews writes, “This first novel by Hensley, himself a former police officer and marathoner, is a seductive love letter to Pittsburgh: The author is at his best describing its neighborhoods and scenic appeal. The City of Pittsburgh is the best character in this workmanlike mystery.”
