Business As Usual

Toronto’s David Sanders and Claire Dumont are the Nick and Nora Charles of academia: two amateur detectives pulled into a web of deceit and violence involving murder, the illegal cross-border dumping of toxic waste, organized crime, dubious, self-serving politicians, and a mysterious, ambitious businessman whose loyalties are unknown.In Business As Usual, author Michael Boughn weaves together multiple plots, deals within deals, and double crosses galore as David and Claire find themselves pulled deeper and deeper into a funny, captivating hard-boiled mystery that might have been written by of Dashiell Hammett––if he’d only had the chance to read Betty Friedan.
