| Summary |
"A New Mexico pottery dealer cracks a perplexing mystery in this "winning blend of humor and character development" ( Publishers Weekly ). Hubert Schuze is an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and he has a fairly lucrative side gig digging up ancient relics and selling them. He also seems to have a talent for finding killers. When Hubie discovers a body outside his pottery shop, it appears the victim was stabbed in the back with something resembling a screwdriver. But the story gets a lot more mysterious when a video turns up showing the man collapsing with no one else nearby. Furthermore, a slip of paper is found in his pocket, with Hubie's name and address on it, suggesting there may be a connection between the two men -- though Hubie has no idea what it could be. Now, the professor and pottery expert must put his sleuthing skills to work -- while simultaneously managing his new role running the university's art department -- to piece together the shards of a baffling crime in this "breezy" novel from a winner of the Left Award for Best Humorous Mystery starring a "witty" amateur detective ( Albuquerque Journal ). "[A] winning series." -- Susan Wittig Albert, New York Times -- bestselling author of the China Bayles Herbal Mysteries"-- Provided by Freading. |
