John Sandford: Bloody Genius (USA 2020)

From the Publisher:
Virgil Flowers will have to watch his back-and his mouth-as he investigates a college culture war turned deadly in another one of Sandford's "madly entertaining Virgil Flowers mysteries" (The New York Times Book Review).

At the local state university, two feuding departments have faced off on the battleground of science and medicine. Each carries their views to extremes that may seem absurd, but highly educated people of sound mind and good intentions can reasonably disagree, right?

Then a renowned and confrontational scholar winds up dead, and Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate... and as he probes the recent ideological unrest, he soon comes to realize he's dealing with people who, on this one particular issue, are functionally crazy. Among this group of wildly impassioned, diametrically opposed zealots lurks a killer, and it will be up to Virgil to sort the murderer from the mere maniacs.

From the Publisher:
Virgil Flowers will have to watch his back - and his mouth - as he investigates a culture war turned deadly in this tense page-turner from the master of pulse-pounding thrillers.

At the local state university, renowned Professor Quill goes to the library one night - and winds up dead. With no suspects, no prints, no murder weapon - not even a time of death - Virgil Flowers is brought in to investigate.

Flowers discovers that, prior to his death, Quill had sparked a feud between two departments at the university. Each side carries their views to extremes, and Flowers soon realises he's dealing with people who, on this particular issue, are functionally crazy.

Somewhere among this group of diametrically opposed zealots lurks a murderer.

But with no leads, little evidence and the media breathing down his neck, can Flowers find him before he kills again?
