Death of an Old Goat

Professor Belville-Smith had bored university audiences in England with the same lecture for fifty years. Now he was crossing Australia, doing precisely the same. Never before had the reaction been so extreme, however, for, shortly after an undistinguished appearance at Drummondale University, the doddering old professor is found brutally murdered. Police Inspector Royle probes the possible motives of the motley crew of academics at Drummondale, and an hilarious, highly satirical portrait of life down under emerges.
