Graduation week should be an exciting time for the Chemistry Department of Allston University, as they prepare to move from their shabby, haunted laboratories into a brand new building. Happily oblivious, they don't know that the President of the University, a candidate for an empty Senate seat and hungry for good publicity, is scheming to trade away their building to poach a Professor of Physics on the Nobel short list. The week might turn out to be more exciting than anyone had reckoned, what with the two different infernal devices stashed in the basement and the assassination scheduled for the dedication ceremony.
