Twice Retired
(1970)
When Professor Emeritus Walter Brinkley returns to his car froma dinner at the Dyckman University Faculty Club, he finds he has a passenger: the body of General Philip Armstrong, chairman of the university's board of trustees has been placed in the back seat. Armstrong's head has been bashed in and his face covered with a pig mask.
The general might have been killed by students rioting on the campus. Or he might have been done in by a professor who, because of liberalism, was to be fired. The problem is given to Assistant District Attorney Bernie Simmons and Lieutenant John Stein, and they find the road to the solution full of twists and turns that neither they nor the reader expect.
Richard Lockridge takes on the generation gap and college dissidents, and proves that he is the equal of them all.
