When an ordinary man with a knack for bad luck, finds himself imprisoned in New Zealand on charges of human smuggling, he discovers that truth and justice are little more than stage props in a political farce. His fellow inmates include tattooed Māori warriors, suspicious Israelis, philosophical Muslims, and a Georgian drug lord with tips on beating the system. Somewhere between the chessboard in the prison yard and the sterile absurdity of the courtroom, Senya realizes he is not just fighting for freedom, but stumbling through a theater of cruelty where the script has already been written.

This book is a simple collection of the most entertaining and unbelievable things that some of my students have said. I have been teaching various classes of the Biological Sciences at the High School level for 16 years. The idea for the book just hit me out of the blue one day. I was in the middle of my second year of teaching. As I recall, it was a day of multiple, astonishingly dense statements and questions. While in the middle of marveling at a particular set of words of wisdom, I had this thought, “I have to start writing these down”.

Melody runs a fan account for TV’s hottest actor, Griff Beckett. But when one of the photos she posts shows Griff kissing an unknown woman, angry fans turn on Melody and accuse her of posting a fake. When trying to verify, what Melody finds instead of a girlfriend is a missing person. It should be a job for the authorities, but no cop will take them seriously. Armed with just two friends and one very sexy (and distracting) journalist, Levi, Melody is going to solve the crime, save the girl, and maybe get the guy, too. Surely it’s not that hard to be a real sleuth?
