Sinopse: Product Description When given the chance to take a class taught by her political idol, Amy Bell jumps at the opportunity. She has been following Edwin Foster’s work for some time, and can’t believe her luck when he signs up as an adult education professor at CCNY.But she soon finds she isn’t Foster’s only female admirer—and it’s not just his politics that are attracting the attention of the other students. The charismatic and sexy professor develops quite the reputation for steamy affairs, and Bell is compelled to figure out exactly whom he’s been seeing, with the help of a few friends and some finely honed detective skills.The investigation takes an unexpected turn, however, when it seems that Foster’s flirtations with his female students are resulting in lethal consequences. What started as simple curiosity develops into a perplexing murder mystery, and Amy vows to keep digging until she puts her life directly on the line.Written by a former college educator, this modern-day love story presents a very real look at the worlds of politics and academia, winding them into a compelling mystery that will keep you guessing from beginning to end.
