The Campus Murders — Ellery Queen

The co-ed missing from Tisquanto State is the daughter of Governor Sam Holland's rival for reelection - and best friend. But she is more than that. She is Laura Thornton, a human being - somehow the pawn and victim of angry student upheavals not even the governor understands...

Who is behind the terror found a focus in Laura's disappearance? Who is inciting Tisquanto's protests and riots - a madcap prankster, an earnest reformer ... or a conspiracy sworn to the college's destruction?

It is a case for Mike McCall, the governor's special assistant, a two-fisted troubleshooter who finds his crimes in the crises of modern America ... Mike McCall, who finds on Tisquanto's campus not only the raging hatreds of rebelling youth - but murder!
