Death by Analysis

Another Adventure from Inspector Canal's New York Agency

What do you do when a charming young analyst-in-training keels over dead in front of three hundred guests at her Institute’s annual shindig and it looks like murder? You ask around, naturally! But what if initial inquiries by the men in blue suggest she was liked by one and all: her teachers, supervisors, fellow-students, and even patients? New York’s finest have no choice but to call on me to penetrate the calm demeanor of the dead woman’s professional entourage and loosen their tongues, using at least one of those tricks that card-carrying detectives are not allowed to use: plying suspects with drinky poohs.

More daring than ever, changing identities and donning the most unlikely of disguises before, during, and even after a madcap Halloween party, I feel my way through a minefield of denials and dissimulations, trying not to trigger any further murders—especially my own, because things do get dicey! As usual, I get a ringside seat to the misadventures of Eros while attempting to solve crimes of the heart, grappling with the biggest mysteries of them all: love and death.
