"Graham Pugh should be having a ball as a student at the University of Texas in Austin. Unfortunately for him, he loathes his roommate, Bishop "Call Me Bish" Alexander, to the point where he quite literally dreams of killing him. Even more unfortunately for Graham, when he wakes up one morning for a lecture, he finds that Bishop actually is dead on the floor. With Graham the prime suspect, E.J., Willis and the girls race up to Austin. Unsurprisingly, it just so happens that Bishop annoyed a whole lot of people on campus, not just Graham. But who hated him enough to kill him? E.J. faces a desperate battle to prove her son's innocence."--book jacket
