A Substitute for Murder

Winburg High School is only 56 miles from New York City but it is typically suburban. When a substitute teacher discovers the body of another teacher in the gym, false rumors spread throughout the school. The victim was a graphic arts teacher who frequented the local casino and had an interesting summer job. Lieutenant Eli James is asked to investigate and he finds that teachers are not exempt from vices, like greed and malice. One of them has committed murder.
