When a fraternity boy finds himself on trial in Milwaukee for piracy on the high seas, Lawyer Rep Pennyworth suspects heโ€™s being used as an unwitting accomplice in a cheap publicity stunt. Meanwhile, his wife, Melissa, the professor-half of the couple, gets caught in the middle of a conflict between two colleagues that soon escalates into burglary, theft, jury-tampering, forgery of a papal document from World War II, and murder.

Caught between an investigative reporter whoโ€™s still having flashbacks to 1968, a professor whose acute political correctness masks ruthless academic ambition, an engineer whose fatherโ€™s death looks suspicious, and a brace of cunning lawyers out for blood, Rep and Melissa have to combine their talents to stay off the casualty list while they figure out whatโ€™s really going on.

Mike Bowen, a graduate of Harvard Law School with a passion for politics, is a retired trial lawyer and the author of numerous mystery novels.

Malcolm Hillgartner has narrated over 175 audiobooks. He was named an AudioFile Best Voice of 2013. His work ranges from children's titles such as On the Blue Comet (AudioFile Best of 2011, Earphones), and Neal Stevenson's sci-fi epic REAMDE (Audible.com Best of 2011) to the biographies Kissinger (AudioFile Best of 2013, Earphones) and Cheever (AudioFile Best of 2009, Earphones). He is also an accomplished actor, writer, and musician. With his wife and partner, Jahnna Beecham, he has written over 130 books for teens and young readers, as well as the musicals Chaps! and The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Musical, which have been produced in the U.S. and Canada.

Reviews

โ€œBowenโ€™s characters are amusing even when exasperating, and his leads are especially pleasant people to spend time with.โ€

โ€œMalcolm Hillgartner has the sense of irony and the comic timing needed to bring out the best in Bowenโ€™s fourth mysteryโ€ฆBowenโ€™s novel soars with adventure and intellectual witโ€ฆHillgartnerโ€™s energy, pace, and sensitivity to the characters make Bowenโ€™s writing come to life.โ€

โ€œLawyer Rep Pennyworth and his wife, Melissa, a professor of English at the local university, have their hands full. Rep is representing a young student who finds himself on trial for piracy on the high seas, all thanks to a date gone wrong. Melissa is caught up in the political-correctness squabble that erupted at a literary conference and balloons into murder. Readers may need a flow chart to keep all of the plot elements straight, but they will enjoy this romp through the halls of academe, where the battles are so bitter because the stakes are so small. Fast moving and funny.โ€

โ€œBowenโ€™s powers of invention are so florid and his satirical touch so bright that most readers won't care who gets carted off to jail.โ€
