Who knew academic life could be so dangerous?
Lainey Parker, now a senior at Columbia College in New York, is as concerned as the rest of her classmates when her favorite professor goes missing. But unlike her fellow students, Lainey happens to witness two very suspicious characters searching the professor's office for a mysterious "item." And when a certain agent for Interpol shows up to investigate, the very same man who broke Lainey's heart four years before, things really begin to get interesting—not to mention deadly.
