Wicked Games - Tyler Compton - Bog

Professor Fredrick Knott was known for his controversial yet successful teaching methods-gaining him both supporters and many enemies. When he and one of his female students are found stabbed to death in his office one night, the rumors spread through the campus like wildfire. Gossip of a clandestine affair was nothing new. But why murder, and who did it? Was it a student the professor had flunked? An angry parent? A former patient from his days as a therapist? Maybe his wife, who long knew about his co-ed exploits... or perhaps Knott wasn't even the intended target. Despite being on "borrowed time"-soon to be separated into different departments of a newly organized LAPD-Detective David Parks and his team are assigned the high profile case in hopes of quickly solving the murders and saving the reputation of the esteemed college. But fact and fiction begin to blur when a witness claims the good professor had been practicing an unspeakable horror on the campus grounds-greatly expanding the list of potential suspects with a strong motive. With the pressure building to find a killer hidden in a maze of blackmail, betrayal and lies, Detective Parks soon discovers the deadly lengths people will go to keep an enticing world and its secrets a mystery.
