Richard North Patterson is one of my favorite authors. The Spire is a love story and a gripping suspense novel.
Mark Darrow is a scholarship student and the star quarterback at the local college. Mark becomes a successful lawyer. At the request of his college professor, Lionel Farr, Mark returns to guide his alma mater as president. He investigates an embezzlement scandal that threatens the college.
Sixteen years ago, Mark discovered the body of a black female scholarship student at the base of the Spire, the bell tower that dominates the campus. Mark's best friend is in prison for life convicted of the murder.
Mark has many challenges leading the college, inquiries into the murder, blackmail, and the Vietnam war. The novel is also a touching love story as Mark falls in love with Lionel Farr's daughter.
The Spire is a good read!!!
