Produktbeschreibung

Visiting Berkeley, a French Mathematician, Robert Lavoisier, crosses paths by chance with Elizabeth Cromwell, a professional dominant, in a vacant house in Montclair, California. The owner of the house is dead. As Lavoisier leaves he invites Cromwell to join him at a bar. When she arrives later at the bar, she is told that a man inside has died of a heart attack. She leaves, not knowing that Lavoisier has been murdered. Lavoisier's car is found two blocks from his house, his cell phone and wallet tucked in a seat compartment, but his laptop is missing. In his search for the laptop, a mathematician at UC Berkeley, a close friend of Lavoisier, believes that Elizabeth stole it, but on meeting her realizes his error. At a second meeting with her he realizes that it is the strangeness of Elizabeth's encounter with Lavoisier that is the vital piece of information that any explanation of Lavoisier's murder must contend with. On the resonance of a phrase, "Partitions of Unity." they are led to a paper in a psychoanalytic journal that resolves the separate mysteries that encompass the death of Lavoisier. In the process they discover each other.

Autorenporträt

About the Author At age 14, Jennifer Mason left Kansas for Malibu. With a nagging alter ego, neither able to talk herself into or out of a commitment to writing, she took the coast road to San Francisco. In an abandoned Prohibition speakeasy, she invented the English Department, where she discovered a voice in a brand of professional dominance as mysterious in its puritan fantasy as it is comical in its enactments of how we need to feel. She is the author of four previous novels, The Oddball Gypsy Raconteur, Valedictorian, Sebastopol, and Tors Lake. Like Partitions of Unity her stories follow their characters through scenes of what they think they see when they are most confused, the way things usually are when we struggle for an erotic connection. She lives and writes on Noe Street.
