Someone has assassinated a Russian Orthodox monk in his office at the Divinity School - despite the fact that the door of his office was bolted shut from the inside. No killer was found within...It turns out that the mystery of the locked room is simple compared to the international intrigue that swiftly develops around the case. Intelligence agents from diverse nations seem to be involved, as well as both the Sicilian and Russian mobs. Blackie soon finds himself the target of both threats and actual bullets as he seeks to unravel the deepening mystery surrounding the murdered monk - whose murky secrets may stretch all the way to the Vatican itself! Murder is more than academic in yet another delightful whodunit by one of America's most popular storytellers.
