Exile to Murder (Hardcover)

Wisecracking star reporter Jack Donovan, suspended by his editor for ethics infractions, hires on at an unsuspecting California university to teach . . . journalism ethics! The job turns serious when construction workers uncover the skeleton of a long-missing sociology professor and sexual predator. Academic hacks and hatchet men thwart Jack's pursuit of the juiciest murder case he has ever covered, but they are cupcakes compared to the psycho who has pointed plans to punish Jack for his snooping. 'California dreaming morphs into nightmare in this mordantly funny tale of murder on campus." -- Anthony Arthur, author of Literary Feuds 'Exile to Murder calls to mind Ross Macdonald and Kem Nunn, with genuinely complex characters charting unexpected courses toward a remarkably satisfying climax." -- Michael Cahill, author of A Nixon Man
