When Robin Nevins is denied acceptance into an exclusive university, Spenser is eager to investigate. It seems the denial is tied to the suicide of a young gay activist, and as Spenser digs deeper, he is immersed in a multicultural swamp of politics: black, gay, academic, and feminist. Meanwhile, Spenser's girlfriend Susan asks him to come to the aid of an old college friend who is being stalked.

This book presents a theory that the past spring feasts of the Lord could predict the future end times prophecy events using the fall feasts of the Lord. This basic prophetic understanding was proposed in the early 1980s by Robert van Kampen The Sign of Christ's Coming and the End of the Age.

Hired by an aggrieved Boston aristocrat who believes his wife's brutal slaying to be something other than random violence, Spenser immediately senses that his client's picture-perfect portrayal of his family life is false. For starters, the victim's reputation is too saintly, her house is as lived-in as stage set, and her troubled children don't appear to be products of a happy home.
