Book Description:

Charles Wood is a new student at North Hill Academy, who thinks that his rather eccentric roommate, Maxwell Templeton, is a great deal like Sherlock Holmes.  Charles soon becomes involved with Elaine Sharp, a girl who is in danger.  When she calls on Templeton for help, he reluctantly agrees.  The situation becomes much more serious when a student is found on her back in the snow—dead!  Throw in a few weird faculty members, gung-ho campus police and a crazy motorcycle gang and you’ve got a recipe for trouble that will test even Templeton’s abilities.
