During his visit, a tragedy strikes the small campus when a student is found hanging from a rope in his locked dorm room. Did the poor lad commit suicide or was it murder? In between bonding with Campbell and coping with an unhinged ex-girlfriend who follows him across the Atlantic, Rex conducts his own investigation, uncovering an unsavoury side of college life.
