Description

Readers are drawn into a wild and wicked world, where tenured professors are busy burying bodies, cash-up-front P.I.'s hunt for missing coeds and one desperate street-tough has to decide which he'd rather be: a live poet or a dead criminal.

Description

Determined to escape his old life, Harold Jenks, a drug lord's lieutenant in one of St. Louis's toughest ghettos, swaps identities with a scholarship student headed for Eastern Oklahoma University, where he finds himself the new graduate assistant in the English department and encounters visiting professor Jay Morgan, a man with a dead student in his bed.
