Wit. Grit. A case that could end it all.

Beaten down and bored in his job as an adjunct professor of literature, Chandler Cain follows the same dull motions every semester. That is, until a former student walks into his office with an unusual request — help find her missing boyfriend.

The case takes him into the city's dirty streets, defunct factories, seedy drug houses, and, perhaps worst of all, a student writing group, all while trying to make it to class to do his job.

As he gets deeper into the case — and closer to his former student — the more confusing things get. Why did he take the case in the first place? Is he falling in love with her? As he struggles to answer these questions, he realizes that his nemesis might be behind the whole affair, toying with him the whole time. Is she going to lead him to his final case?

If you like hard-boiled detective novels with a humorous twist, you'll love Death of the Author. Part Dashiell Hammett, part Bored to Death, with a twist of academic adventure, this short novel packs a punch.

Follow the twists and turns of murder and mayhem amid forays into literary criticism in Erik Marshall's debut detective novel on Kindle Unlimited.
