Award-winning author Kelly Oliver takes thing up a notch, mixing medical thriller with murder.
One minute Jessica is throwing down Fiery Mule Slammers with a hot intern from the medical school. The next she's waking up naked behind a dumpster in freezing Chicago, her clothes piled neatly beside her.
She soon finds out she's one of Chicago's mystery 'dumpster girls' - top of their class, attractive college girls who are drugged and dropped unconscious behind dumpsters. The police are baffled, and when one of the victims turns up dead, Jessica decides it's up to her to solve the mystery before more girls get hurt.
Hunting for the predator leads Jessica to discover secrets about her identity that force her to re-think her past. It also puts her squarely in the middle of dangerous medical mystery. Luckily her friends Lolita and Jack are on hand to help solve this gritty biological crime.
Genes to die for....and someone does.

This volume brings together scholars of philosophy, law, and literature, including prominent Derrideans alongside activist scholars, to elucidate and expand upon an important project of Derrida’s final years, the seminars he conducted on the death penalty from 1999 to 2001. Deconstructing the Death Penalty provides remarkable insight into Derrida’s ethical and political work. Beyond exploring the implications of Derrida’s thought on capital punishment and mass incarceration, the contributors also elucidate the philosophical groundwork for his subsequent deconstructions of sovereign power and the human/animal divide. Because Derrida was concerned with the logic of the death penalty, rather than the death penalty itself, his seminars have proven useful to scholars and activists opposing all forms of state sanctioned killing. The volume establishes Derrida's importance for continuing debates on capital punishment, mass incarceration, and police brutality. At the same time, by deconstructing the theologico-political logic of the death penalty, it works to construct a new, versatile abolitionism, one capable of confronting all forms the death penalty might take.

What if the evil professor you fantasized about murdering actually wound up... dead?
Kelly Oliver serves up an irreverent murder mystery with flavors of hard-boiled mobster grit, and a fierce female lead readers will adore. Jessica James is a clever, endearingly awkward, and downright hilarious heroine, a brilliant philosopher who's much more than curious.
Twenty-one-year-old Jessica James isn't your average Northwestern University Philosophy PhD candidate. Raised on a Montana ranch by a charming but alcoholic mother, she's as scrappy as she is smart.
Unbeknownst to everyone but the secretary and janitor, Jessica's living in the attic of the Victorian mansion the university transformed into the philosophy department, It's not the best Chicago has to offer, but it's the Waldorf compared to the dingy trailer park of her childhood. Jessica works hard--no thanks to her arrogant thesis advisor Professor Baldrick Wolfgang "The Wolf" Schmutzig. "Preeminent Philosopher" and World-Class Dickhead. He's going out of his way to prevent Jessica from completing her degree.
Things take a sinister turn when Jessica and her pal Jack find the smug professor murdered in the bathtub of his office. That's when her real education begins.
Smart, capable women shine in this cast. An irresistible treat for anyone who's ever wanted to murder the Wolf in their own life.
