Publisher's Description
A skeleton is found in 2020 in Waco, Texas, on the campus of Baylor University during the renovation of the Tidwell Bible Building, which houses Baylor's Department of Religion. During demolition, workers uncover the skeleton of a man who had been murdered fifteen years earlier. Suspicion quickly falls on three members of the Department of Religion, including two who are now high-level administrators of the university. All three have something to hide. Two detectives meticulously and creatively pursue the killer, despite encountering bureaucratic resistance from the higher echelons of administrators in the Waco Police Department and Baylor University.

“In the literary realm of murder mysteries, there is no richer environment to explore than that of higher education, where petty rivalries can erupt into all-out war; where deans cower, lecturers run for cover, and tenured faculty bully and bluff and buff their CVs—all in the course of a single faculty meeting. Authors James Nogalski and Mark Biddle expertly navigate academia’s treacherous shoals in Murder in the Tidwell Building and remind us, once again, of that hoariest of all university truisms: ‘They fight so fiercely because the stakes are so low.’”
“Murder in the Tidwell Building, by James D. Nogalski and Mark E. Biddle, is a charming detective story full of twists and turns. Anyone familiar with Baylor University—its campus, its faculty and administration, its history—will enjoy this book. It’s a joyous romp through Waco, Baylor, and a few murders—one old, one new. Murder in the Tidwell Building is bound to please.”
