Description	The Campus Murders is a 1969 paperback novel by Gil Brewer (1922 - 1983) published under the name Ellery Queen. It is the first of three novels 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 traditional faculty on the other who are unable to understand what is going on around campus and who do not know how to react adequately to the demands voiced by hippies and yippies.
