Harvard professor Henry Spearman—an ingenious amateur sleuth who uses economics to size up every situation—is sent by an American entrepreneur to Cambridge, England. Spearman’s mission is to scout out the purchase of the most famous house in economic science: Balliol Croft, the former home of Professor Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes’s teacher and the font of modern economic theory. After a shocking murder, Spearman realizes that his own life is in danger as he finds himself face-to-face with the most diabolical killer in his career.
Marshall Jevons is the pen name of Kenneth G. Elzinga, the Robert C. Taylor Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia, and William Breit (1933–2011). Together, they wrote two other Henry Spearman mysteries, The Fatal Equilibrium and Murder at the Margin (91ÌÒÉ«). Elzinga, as Marshall Jevons, is also the author of another Henry Spearman book, The Mystery of the Invisible Hand (91ÌÒÉ«).

"This lively, carefully crafted mystery surely offers the greatest good to the greatest number of readers."—Publishers Weekly
