Internationally acclaimed author, scholar, and special consultant to the FBI, Dr. William Russel Sheridan, presents the latest thriller taken from his personal case files.For Professor Sheridan, it is a time for self-reflection and re-assessment. On a whim, he accepts a one-year teaching appointment at the research university in the Midwest where he was formerly a tenured professor. He looks forward to testing and revising his semiotic theories for the detection and solving of major crimes.At the university, Dr. Sheridan is introduced to the advanced graduate students who will learn semiotic theory in his seminar. In the second semester, he selects students for a practicum in which they are required to apply the theories they have learned and solve a real case. Sheridan gives his students the task of discovering, researching, and presenting a case they believe is unsolvable or the result of a miscarriage of justice. The case he selects from those presented to him is both shocking and one of his greatest challenges to date.A local deputy sheriff has been arrested and incarcerated for a murder he swears he did not commit. Sheridan's critical semiotic analysis of the case convinces him there is substance to the man's claim of innocence. During their investigation of the case against the deputy sheriff, they uncover an alarming pattern of missing Amish and Mennonite girls on Rumspringa who have mysteriously disappeared from their church and families as they explore and experience the outside world of the Englisch. What Sheridan and his team of graduate students discover along the way will hold you spellbound to the very last page.To further complicate matters, a young Ph.D. student in the seminar is one of the brightest, most beautiful, and intriguing women he has ever taught. Unfortunately, his private and personal analysis of her reveals she is hiding a deep and complicated secret. What he subsequently discovers about the young woman shocks him to his core as a professor, an investigator, and as a man.Fans and readers of John Le Carré, James Lee Burke, Donna Leon, Fredrick Forsyth, and Martin Cruz Smith will be thrilled and fascinated by Sheridan's latest novel, The Spy From LIvani!
