A stolen blueprint, a dead body, and wedding bells... Change is in the air at Hartford Women's College in the fall of 1898. Renowned inventor Peter Sanbourne-working on Project Blue Arrow for the Navy-heads the school's new engineering program, and literature professor Concordia Wells prepares to leave to marry David Bradley. The new routine soon goes awry when a bludgeoned body-clutching a torn scrap of the only blueprint for Blue Arrow-is discovered on the property Concordia and David were planning to call home. To unravel the mystery that stands between them and their new life together, Concordia must navigate deadly pranks, dark secrets, and long-simmering grudges that threaten to tear apart her beloved school and leave behind an unseemly trail of bodies.
