Odd School Ties

0/5 ( ratings)

When his community-activist lawyer friend fails to appear to guest-lecture on biblical law, theology professor Brendan Byrne cannot resist digging into the circumstances of Jonah's sudden disappearance. The man's eventual re-surfacing is even odder, and Brendan finds his curious self peering into a boat-wreck and sweatshop crime and pursuing a mysterious older woman with a wire-haired terrier and a family of ne'er-do-wells. With the help of good friends he finally resolves the knot of factors that explains Jonah's behavior to the satisfaction of all involved in the case. Set at Berkeley's Graduate Theological Union, this soft-boiled mystery is focused on the cerebral rather than on the vicious side of wrong-doing and invites readers to probe a double-helixed plot which twists an ancient biblical story around a contemporary enigma, all in the company of people enjoyable enough for readers to want to spend time with!
