Skirting forty and appalled by the prospect of descending into middle-age
decrepitude, Aggie Mundeen blasts off to the local university to study the genetics of
aging. In addition to providing youthful hints for readers of her column, "Stay Young
with Aggie," Aggie is doggedly determined to stay young.
Despite conflicts with her professor, she learns about the Human Genome Project and
DNA. When she discovers a dead body, Detective Sam reminds her not to “help” with the
investigation. But dangerously curious and programmed to prod, she races to solve the
crime, winds up the prime suspect and is on target to become next campus corpse.
