Dear Colleagues,
This Monday Roxanne Varzi discusses her new murder mystery with a dyslexic
anthropologist as detective -- Silent Scream.

Sherine Hamdy interviews her here:  www.campanthropology.org

Best,
Ilana

Press blurb:
Alex slips off her headphones and savors the sensation of stillness in
silence while the crowd dances on at Oslo’s hot new silent disco. She is
conducting her dream field research on sound and attention when a handsome
stranger beckons to her from across the dance floor. Hoping for a little
warmth in Norway’s cold climate, she follows him -- going from anthropology
PhD student to murder suspect. With the Norwegian police and a killer
closing in, Alex is stranded in a country where every puzzle piece is
slightly out of place. While dyslexia makes reading Norwegian difficult, it
also gifts her an uncanny ability to read people. Soon she is channeling
Ms. Marple as much as Margaret Mead, as she re-places puzzle pieces and
navigates the sharp edges of the frosty Fjord in an attempt to free herself
and return home.
