Death at the Whistling Swan — John D. Nesbitt

~ A mystery short from the award winning author of Twin Rivers and Frost on Thin Ice ~

A curious fellow by nature and with an interest in a certain young woman,
I attended a poetry reading at her invitation. The poet was entertaining, but my attention drifted to Liz and how pretty she looked.

The next morning I learned of the poet's death from a fellow faculty member. Concern for Liz was my first reaction and after speaking with her, I decided to discover what happened.

How could a poet's death be related to the issue of tenure? Join me as I attempt to find out.
