Books like On this Rockne by Ralph M. McInerny

Name: On this Rockne
Author: Ralph M. McInerny

A short little mystery starring the Private Eye Phil Knight and his brilliant, morbidly obese, Notre Dame philosophy professor brother. This is the first of a series of mysteries set on the Notre Dame campus, which is where the author has a day job (he is also the author of the Father Dowling mysteries). Anyways, a university trustee has been murdered; then the prime suspect, her bitter ex-husband, is also killed. The duo quietly investigates until uncovering the conspiracy under it all. Not that gripping, but at a scant 200 pages it went fast

First publish date: 1997
