This book is written by David Williams. Faced with impending bankruptcy, University College Itchendever has its back to the wall. Then, out of the blue, came two offers of assistance. An American foundation promises millions - under certain peculiar conditions. Likewise, the Crown Prince of Abu B'yat will guarantee unlimited funds, but in return for complete control. Banker sleuth Mark Treasure tries to adjudicate on behalf of the College, but matters swing from the bizarre to the deadly serious with a series of particularly nasty threats - to the trustees of the Foundation a severed sheep's head in a parcel; to the Foundation's bank something even less tasteful and then a corpse is found.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
The delightful adventures of Mark Treasure, suave banking investigator, boast clever plotting, witty writing, and vivid characterization. In this one, the British Treasure accompanies the eccentric American head of the Funny Farm Foundation to a small college in need of her endowment, where she is murdered. Suspects include a gaggle of disgruntled faculty, student dissidents, and a wealthy oil sheik. Terry Wale reads beautifully. His characters are distinctive, his narrative urbane.
