Book Description
Jerica Davidson, the First Miss, enrolls at her parents' alma mater. Her professor advisor is Joan, daughter of Aggie Morissey, good friend of the President, Jerica's dad. Eager to live a normal life away from the spotlight and the secret service, Jerica falls in with a rough crowd, led by her roommate, Callie, a devious opportunist. Callie introduces Jerica, the girl who longs to win beaty contests, to Butch, a tough guy from Milwaukee. Aggie tries to take Jerica under her wing, but the President's daughter resists, eluding both Aggie and Joan. Now Butch is one step closer to winning Jerica's heart, body, and soul, through her commitment to him, to Callie, and to their cause. Involving Jerica in his terrorist activities would be cool. He convinces Jerica that their cause is "Saving the Trees". When Jerica goes missing just when a building on campus blows up, Butch leaks the news that the First Miss is a member of the eco-terrorist gang responsible for the mayhem. And the press goes wild! Aggie Morissey starts out worrying about President Dominic Davidson's life, but she could be mistaken: right family, wrong person.

Book Description
AP: "President's Daughter Joins Terrorists!" While enroute to the White House aboard Air Force One, Alison Morissey suspects she's uncovered an assassination plot against the President, her long-time friend. But who will believe her; a little middle-aged lady from Wyoming who insists the First Family is targeted for disaster? People will laugh. Worse, they won't take action in time. When the First Miss disappears from under Alison's roof out in Cheyenne, the world press goes wild. They can't agree on whether Jerica has been kidnapped or has voluntarily joined the double cells of eco-terrorists determined to halt the cutting of trees in the forests. The terrorists will stop at nothing; not kidnapping, not terrorism, not murder. Alison, who never in her life fancied herself as an amateur sleuth-not until faced with this personal and national dilemma-plunges into the action with the help of cousin Lisa and other clan members.

Book Description
The problem of human evil is never far beneath the surface of mystery fiction. This was particularly true in the wake of the horrific events of World War II. One figure who set out to investigate this crisis was Ellery Queen. This book provides a much-needed intervention in the study of detective fiction by giving sustained attention to Ellery Queen as well as suggesting possible directions for broader discussions of the genre. After the war, Queen mounted an inquiry into the state of masculinity and of the world in the wake of unimaginable horrors represented by the death camps and the atomic bomb. During his investigation, Ellery rummaged through the ruins of culture, invoking and evoking figures such as Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and (naturally) Edgar Allan Poe. Ultimately, this quest brought him up against an unexpected foe: God himself. This book examines the ways Queen pushes against the boundaries of what was (and, in some circles, still is) considered possible or desirable in the genre.
