When a movie theater projector of a large theater chain breaks down, a surly theater manager refuses to give an old woman her refund because she cannot find her ticket stub. That's when Frank Rooney, an easy-going chemistry professor, rises up to take the manager - and corporate arrogance - by the throat. Frank gets himself arrested and his trial becomes the flashpoint for massive protests organized by TULP - Treat Us Like People - a nascent group of citizens frustrated by corporate indifference and consumer abuse. Max Rodriguez, an aimless but charismatic recent college grad, stumbles into the job of TULP Spokesman. Working with Max to harness the mass frustration over corporate behavior are Boris Petrovich, a Russian immigrant engineer turned plumber, Alexander Hammermill, a millionaire artist/landowner whose property becomes the scene of a insurgent encampment, Gus DeMauro, a California contractor who remembers the good old days at Berkeley, and Christina Clark, real estate and computer whiz who clicks and drags her older cohorts into protest, social media style. Ronney's defense is taken up by Cowboy Bob Sheridan, a flamboyant, publicity seeking attorney whose seminars are billed as: "Never Lose A Case - Can't Miss Pointers From a Fell Who Never Has." At Frank's trial, Sheridan quotes authorities as varied as the Book of Deuteronomy and the writings of John Adams to argue that the basis for human relations comes from concepts far nobler than the common functionary's excuse: "It's company policy."

I've always thought that Matlacha (say Mat-la-SHAY), the funky Pine Island Florida fishing village cum art colony would be a perfect setting for a mystery, when along comes Jessie Murphy, the perfect gal to sort out the riff from the raff of it all. You've got to love this lady, a Goodwill fashion queen, who comes across as a ditzy airhead whose best buddy is a Gargoyle named Gar. Jessie's taken time off from her job, thrilled to be rekindling the flame of romance with her treasure-hunting guy, Will Rolins, who adores her. Will has just made a wonderful archeological discovery, aka buried treasure. He's offered to support Jessie in her painting career if only she'll rejoin him in the sandy, salt-water and flip-flop lifestyle she adores. As she arrives in Matlacha, Jessie, to her horror, is met instead with the crime scene tape in place, bloodstains on the floor and pinholes where Will's treasure maps should have been. The sheriff insists that Will's death was a suicide but he refuses to release the police report and Jessie is bewildered. It is true that Will was often depressed and sometimes controlling. But why kill himself when he's fulfilled his life's dream? If he meant to kill himself why would he ask Jessie to join him? The facts don't sit straight with Jessie. She is determined to sort out the case. Jessie's a red-headed Irish Bostonian, whose art career has gone on the back burner as she struggles to earn a living. Meanwhile, certain investigative skills Jessie has acquired--a stint in a private investigator's office, classes in theater and karate--all come into play as she trails suspects and sometimes overplays her hand, arousing the suspicions of whoever it is who makes crank calls to her in the middle of the night. Do not be fooled, there's way more to Jessie than meets the eye, and do not, repeat, do not miss this true beach read with a pelican's eye view of Florida's magnificent barrier island landscapes.

In this historical novel set in the early 1920s, the dream of a young Brooklyn Jewish woman named Ree is to live with the Indians of the Southwest, far from the sweatshop where she works. To reach that goal, she studies anthropology at Columbia University, where the professor she idolizes, Ruth Benedict, is having an affair with her fellow student, Margaret Mead. When her professors think Ree is a loose cannon and won't send her to the Southwest for her field work, she defiantly goes to New Mexico on her own. But before she reaches Navajoland, Ree works at a lesbian dude ranch that really existed; works for Boston heiress Mary Cabot Wheelwright to study Navajo culture from Hosteen Klah, a transgender medicine man; finds romance on a starlit mesa top with an elusive Navajo youth; travels in a sheepherder's cozy wagon; and tries to find her place at a trading post in a remote Navajo community.
