A Drake Simo Mystery
Drake Simo and the Art Museum
Drake Simo visits Pedro State University's art museum to see a painting by Joni Mitchell.
The Theft and Investigation
The theft of Latina professor Constance Sienna's digital print, Las Amigas and the Gringo Racist Devils, while Drake is in the building—and a disproportionate reward for its recovery—ensnares him in a rambling, raucous investigation.
Locations and Clues
Insipid ports of call—the hallowed halls of Pedro State, a decrepit trailer park, a labor line for undocumented workers—transport Drake closer to the crime's murky explanation. Incestuous attachments and false prophets encircle this mystery's musky womb of unholy alliances.
About Drake Simo
Substitute teacher and ex-bicycle racer Drake Simo, distractible and non-violent, is not your average shamus. He lives in the quirky college community of Skyview and solves crimes in an attempt to gain some degree of insight—and earn money.
