The Wolf by John Boretz

What if the evil boss you fantasized about murdering actually wound up. dead?

And what if you were the prime suspect? How far would you go to clear your name?

Jessica wants only to successfully defend her thesis and earn her degree. But when she discovers her thesis advisor's dead body in a bathtub, she becomes entangled in a web of lies, secrets, mystery, and murder from which the only way out is through. For Jessica, survival begins to take on a new, and deadlier, meaning.

Enter Dmitry, university janitor and former-heir to The Oxford Don's Russian mafia syndicate. At the age of eighteen, Dmitry cut ties with his family and fled his homeland with two of his father's most prized possessions--antique Russian paintings valued at several million dollars apiece. He's kept a low profile for decades, but after Wolf's death, his wife and daughter's lives are at stake.

Dmitry and Jessica must team up to catch a killer before they become his next victims.


Simultaneously heartwarming, irreverent, clever, suspenseful, and humorous, Wolf will keep you up past your bedtime.
