The Ghost of Harvard University

Send us a text

The mystery of the murder of graduate student Jane Britton cast a dark shadow over Harvard University for half a century. Rumors murmured around campus explored the possible suspects that the Cambridge Police Department allegedly never looked into. Could the young aspiring archaeologist have been killed by a professor she had a secret affair with? Student sleuth, Becky Cooper, who found herself at Harvard more than 40 years after the murder, knew the answers were there somewhere.

Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.
