Wormwood Politically Correct Robert L Van Kirk

Derf Slatkin is on his way to becoming the solar energy king of Wormwood, West Virginia. Just as soon as he finishes installing new solar panels on Wormwood University's Administration Building. There are, however, a few slight problems: a murder investigation, defective panel parts arriving from Uzbekistan, company stock market manipulation, and a host of strangers arriving daily at the factory to pick up unmarked packages from overseas. Ty Svenson, a private detective, is working undercover at the university to figure out what Derf is up to - lethal mayhem or a demonstration of sheer incompetence. Ty, sporting blonde dreadlocks as his sleuthing disguise, finds himself in the romantic crosshairs of a gorgeous senior student, and running afoul of student protests popping up on campus. Ty, Derf, the university president, law enforcement, the Uzbekistani general, and ambassador all find themselves on a storm-tossed river chasing each other to settle a number of scores. Can Ty clear this all up before he and his investigation are permanently sunk?
