Game of Bones

Detective Rafferty and Sgt. Llewellyn have been handed a murder case that seems entirely airtight, complete with enough evidence for a conviction. While Rafferty is convinced of the guilt of Professor Babbington, Llewellyn has his doubts. When Mr. Hunter-York is murdered, only one person, Professor Babbington, has the motive to want him dead, and all evidence points in his direction. But as Rafferty and Llewellyn begin asking questions, they find that no one really cared for the professor, and they are more than willing to share just about anything to make sure that he is convicted for murder. As forthcoming as the staff at the college has been, there are still secrets lurking behind their information. The professor stubbornly maintains his innocence, declaring that someone has framed him for murder. While his colleagues have not hidden their contempt for Babbington, could it be enough to drive someone to murder and then try to frame the professor?
Llewellyn has more doubts than his superior, but there is no proof, nothing that points to the innocence of the professor until they begin looking deeper into the knife attacks that have been happening near campus. As they begin tracking the professor's movements, and the string of illegitimate children that he had, the case begins to take a different turn.
The young Sebastian Carlton, one of the illegitimate children of the professor, is full of anger, after the drunken confession about his paternity by his mother. As the pair dig deeper into the background, and the particulars about the case, it seems that Sebastian had just as much motive as anyone to want to get the professor out of the way.
As the case unravels around detective Rafferty, there is something that seems off, but he just can't seem to find that one missing piece....
