Murder at School
by James Hilton
It takes place in a public school, in the same traditional and confusing English environment. Colin Revell, a brave Oxonian and once libertarian, returns to Oakington, where he graduates, to puzzle over the "accidental" death of a schoolboy. With Colin's empty nudge on Gothic ATVs, accidents multiply in frequency and horror, and the tightly modulated thriller matures with a generous anticipation of Hilton's then-known talent: masterfully perceived, individual characters, a stunning atmosphere, and a full contribution to adventure and romance.
