I'm hooked on the fabulous, memorable characters, fast-paced action, and snappy dialogue.
Grad student Jessica James is having a killer year. Living rent-free in her advisor's office attic, she breaks into her advisor's office at night to discover she's not the only one who hates the Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Baldrick Wolfgang Schumtzig.
Jessica James joins the ranks of strong women sleuths. She and her living-on-the-fringe pals investigate "Wolf's" death while dodging frat boys, gamblers, and the police. The narrative voice is sarcastic and quick-minded.
