persistent raindrops on the windshield made the drive to Duquesne University especially glum that Tuesday morning. I felt a particular sense of being shadowed as I walked from my parked car down to Lieberman Hall for our class discussion of detective fiction. When I reached the building, I realized that I had forgotten my key to enter. Thankfully, a man who looked to be my professor rounded the corner and unlocked the door for me.
