A friend recommended Robert B. Parker's SPENCER series to me, and all I can say is 'How come I didn't learn of this neat mystery writer until now?!!' THE GODWULF MANUSCRIPT is really good who-dunnit which introduces a gumshoe (private eye) like no other.

From back cover: Spenser had earned his degree in the school of hard knocks, so he was ready when a Boston university hired him to recover a rare, stolen manuscript. He was hardly surprised that his only clue was a radical student with four bullets in his chest.
The cops were ready to throw the book at the pretty blonde coed whose prints were all over the murder weapon but Spenser wasn't there for easy answers. The lovely lady offered a cram course in campus love--but first there was the question of who had splashed blood on the ivory tower, some very heavy homework, and the grim possibility that, if he didn't finish his assignment soon, he could end up marked 'D'--for dead.
