One early morning during spring break, Detectives Phil Knight and Jimmie Stewart are enjoying a golf game at the University of Notre Dame when they find a man apparently suffering a heart attack on the green. They summon help and the man is rushed to the emergency room. But it's too late--the man dies at the hospital and an autopsy suggests that his death was not an accident.

The victim--poisoned with deadly nightshade--turns out to be Mortimer Sadler, something of a boor but also an extremely generous donor to the university. He'd returned to campus for an unofficial class reunion, along with several classmates, including his three college roommates. Soon, long-buried animosities surface among the old friends. But are these old wounds strong enough to result in murder? Or was there a more recent disagreement brewing? Phil and his brother Professor Roger Knight team up to uncover the truth behind Sadler's death.

Green Thumb is an intriguing addition to this series by the author of the beloved Father Dowling mysteries. Filled with suspense and plot twists galore, not to mention McInerny's trademark clever wit, it's guaranteed to enchant new readers as well as dedicated fans.

About the Author:
Ralph McInerny is the author of over thirty books, including the popular Father Dowling mystery series, and has taught for over forty years at the University of Notre Dame, where he is the director of the Jacques Maritain Center. He has been awarded the Bouchercon Lifetime Achievement Award, and was appointed to the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. He lives in South Bend, Indiana.
From Booklist:
To help protect the university's reputation, private investigator Phil Knight and his brother Roger, Huneker Professor of Catholic Studies at Notre Dame, are asked by Father Carmody to investigate the death of Notre Dame alumnus Mortimer Sadler, who was at the university to attend a class reunion. Sadler dies on the golf course of deadly nightshade poisoning while sneaking in some extra practice time before a tournament. Best remembered as the student who was most vocal against Notre Dame becoming a coeducational university, Sadler had many enemies. Suspects include his college roommates, the woman whose scorn for him led to his diatribes against female students, and even his own relatives. A further poisoning and a potential poisoning confound the brothers, and Roger must decide the ethics of concealing information he has learned that may hurt people he cares about. The casually paced tale comes to an unexpected conclusion, and McInerny steeps the story in Notre Dame facts and lore. This eighth in a series will please those who enjoy gentle academic mysteries.
