Trick Of The Dark by McDermid, Val. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9781554687510.

When clinical psychiatrist Charlie Flint is sent a mysterious package of press clippings about a brutal murder at her old Oxford college, it instantly grabs her attention. A groom was battered to death just hours after his wedding, and as his bride and wedding guests sipped champagne, his alleged killers were slipping his bloodstained body into the river. Charlie doesn’t know who sent the package, or why, but she can’t get the crime out of her head. As she delves deeper and steps back into the closeted, mysterious world of academic life at Oxford, she realizes that there is much more to this crime than meets the eye, and that every step she takes towards the truth is a step closer to danger . . .
