Mystery

Sociology professor Felix Thayer is brilliant but hateful. A near genius in his field, but impossible to get along with. When his colleague Michael Hartness is found murdered in his office, it doesn't surprise anyone that Thayer is arrested for the crime. Everyone who knew the two men pretty much saw that coming. But why would Thayer have committed the murder in a manner so careless as to almost ensure his being fingered as the culprit? It's almost as if the guy wanted to be caught.
That's what Thayer's wife needs to know. She doesn't really care whether her husband's guilty. She just has to know why he'd be so careless and hires Sam Quinton, full-time gym owner, part-time private eye, and former professional wrestler, to find out. But as Quinton investigates the crime, he finds there may be more to the affair than the animosity of two men. And when the local Mafia begins dogging his steps, he figures he's on the trail of something that someone wants kept under wraps.
Review
New bit players, new bad guys, and completely different storylines make this quick and easy read a pleasure to lose oneself in. Chuckle, ponder and reflect on the parallels to our reality, while immersing yourself in a genuine mystery.
The story is fast-paced and exciting as Quinton sorts through the clues. You are right along with him on the case, second guessing, making connections and more.
It's a great story and very well written. I loved the flow and definitely look forward to more Mysteries in this series.
