When Chief James Hackett, "Hawg" , of Blue Ridge, North Carolina police department attended the golf breakfast at the Wildcat Mountain Country Club, which was a benefit for the bankrupt Sky Valley College, he did not foresee finding the body of one of the faculty members dead in the swimming pool A blow on the back of her head rules out an accident.

The college is on the verge of closing, and is saved by the arrival of alumnus, Wilbur Higgins, who will donate billions to the college. He intends to change the curriculum and the structure of the school, antagonizing the faculty.

Before he can sign the check, he is found dead at the foot of a cliff, his head bashed in by his cane.

There is no lack of potential murderers. There are many who would benefit by his death: his wife, various faculty members, the president of the college. Higgins was a sadist who used information he gained to blackmail for his own ends.

Hackett must probe into Higgins' past and relationships with members of the faculty to ferret out the murderer.
