About the Book

A severed pig’s head bought from an abattoir is the prelude to a series of murders. First comes the bludgeoning of a professor of English literature ... It seems at first to be an isolated crime. Then comes another - and another - and more. The dons are in an unseemly panic. The media can hardly conceal their delight. Detective-Inspector Hooligan is baffled. Obviously the killer `has it in’ for professors of English literature, and is intelligent, resourceful, elusive. Furthermore, he displays intimate knowledge of the university world. But, until he is caught, his motive remains a mystery. And without knowing a motive, where do you start to look? Dogged investigations and intuition are the quirky detective’s only weapons. And will the killer overlook some essential detail? Killers usually do ... A murder mystery indeed - but also a comedy. Hooligan’s quest brings him into contact with many absurd dons - vain, bumbling, unethical, idle ... `Murder by Degrees’ might have been subtitled `Bloodshed With a Laugh’.

About the Author :
Victor Knight was born in 1939 in Barking, which was then in Essex and is now in East London. This makes him either an Essex Boy or an Eastender, and an imposter in either category. Barking Public Library provided at least as much of his early education as did Westbury Primary School. His first serious ambition was to be a musician; and he was for a time, a Junior Exhibitioner at the Royal Academy of Music. But instead he found himself at Magdalene College, Cambridge, and obtained a degree in German and Russian. He then held various posts in university libraries - Leeds, Malta, Edinburgh where he obtained a PhD in German, and Liverpool (as Chief Librarian). He derived inside knowledge of the ways of academe at that time. He also visited Indonesia as adviser to the National Library in Jakarta. So much for Dr Jekyll. As Mr Hyde he played the trombone in amateur orchestras and accompanied and conducted amateur operatic societies. Or are Jekyll and Hyde the other way round?
