Mark Haverty, class of 1955, arrives from New York at no-nonsense Notre Dame, determined to succeed. But a grisly campus murder concealed since the founding of the university, a thirty-seven-year-old librarian with money and mischief on her mind, and the irresistible siren allure of a St. Marys College beauty quickly derail his good intentions.
Mark finds himself increasingly at odds with his upbringing and with college authorities as he confronts the Legends of Notre Dameand careens toward a night of unspeakable horror.
A memory-grabber for anyone who has cheered in Notre Dames old stadium, treasured the lakes and the springtime woods, crossed the Dixie, lingered on the SMC Avenue, or sat in the East Parlors. When Shadows Fell at Notre Dame is an absorbing and sometimes unnerving ride through one of Americas most famous campuses.
