Summary: Spring has sprung in Crozet, Virginia. Harry and her husband, Fair, are enjoying a cozy dinner with some of the town's leading citizens, including history professor Greg "Ginger: McConnell and several members of UVA's celebrated 1959 football team. When McConnell is found murdered on the golf course the next day, a homeless UVA alum confesses to the crime. Trouble is, no one believes that the besotted former All-American could have done the foul deed-- especially after Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker make another gruesome discovery.
