Mystery Woman Sleuth
The Beat Goes On
Things are scarier since that black day in September that
shook Manhattan and the world. But across the river in
Hoboken, New Jersey, community college professor Bel
Barrett intends to live without fear, despite her honey
Sol's newborn wish that they retire and escape to
somewhere remote. So Bel turns her attentions to home renovation, civic
matters, and to an increasingly bitter battle for
scholarship money, a contest she and three others must
ultimately decide. Then one of the other judges is found
dead on the mean streets of Hoboken -- a woman who lived a
strange double life as academic by day and stripper by
night. Unsure whether the solution to her friend's murder lies in
the hallowed halls of learning or the smoky dens of flesh
and fantasy, Bel decides to investigate both. But
education and titillation could prove a most volatile mix -
- and a murderer may be closer than she thinks.
