Sinopsis

Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer has written Death and Deceit: áThe Murder of Raif Bagawi for readers who appreciate mysteries that combine a compelling storyline, interesting characters and critically important social issues. áThe setting for this book, which is the first in a planned series of University Murders, is the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. áRaif Bagawi, a Muslim student from Saudi Arabia, is found dead by the Mississippi River a few blocks from campus. áOfficers at the scene determine that he was murdered but officials from the US State Department, Homeland Security and the FBI intervene and pressure the St. Paul Police Chief to rule Raif&rsquo,s death accidental. áThe case is officially closed but two related mysteries unfold. áWho killed Raif Bagawi and why? áAnd why did the murder of an international student from Saudi Arabia trigger a coverup involving three of the most powerful agencies of the US government? áAs these mysteries unfold, there are ten credible suspects, a second murder, and a great deal of political intrigue. áThere are also interesting characters that doggedly pursue these questions including the main protagonists: áJake Coolidge, a UST professor and former CIA agent, and his wife, Elise Hoffman, who is a private detective.á
