Irish Alibi: A Mystery Set at the University of Notre Dame (Roger and Philip Knight Mysteries Book 11)

Roger Knight, a professor of Catholic studies, and his brother Philip, a semi-retired private investigator, are at Notre Dame as the university prepares for a football game against Georgia Tech. When Notre Dame's Civil War history becomes a point of contention, two Southern student brothers commit a prank in response, nearly 150 years after the conflict. Both claim responsibility for the vandalism, though only one could have actually done it. By sharing an alibi between them, they hope to avoid expulsion. However, the brothers soon become suspects in an unrelated murder case. Roger and Philip must solve the crime, or the students will face consequences far worse than academic dismissal. The case forces the Knights to confront how the distant past continues to influence the present.
