The Campus Murders is a 1969 paperback mystery novel by Ellery Queen, ghostwritten by Gil Brewer (1922–1983).[1] Frederic Dannay and his cousin Manfred B. Lee created the Ellery Queen pseudonym and wrote most of the Queen novels, but in their later years they sometimes used ghostwriters. That was especially true for novels, such as this one, that did not feature the fictional sleuth Ellery Queen. "The Campus Murders" is the first of three novels—each ghostwritten by a different author—to feature "troubleshooter" Mike McCall, a U.S. governor's special assistant.
In The Campus Murders, McCall is sent to Tisquanto State College to investigate the disappearance of a female student. Rather than for its largely predictable plot, the novel is remarkable for its depiction of late 1960s student life. McCall, who is in his early thirties, is confronted with radical, violent, long-haired, dirty, drug-taking, and promiscuous students on the one hand and, on the other, traditional faculty members who are unable to understand what is going on around campus and who do not know how to react to the demands voiced by hippies and yippies.
