Named to Kirkus Reviews Best of 2012. Kirkus calls Galya Popoff and
the Dead Souls: "A wacky but wonderful new cozy . . . a madcap
mystery romp . . . a rollicking adventure the reader will not want
to end." It's five a.m. in the little California coastal town of
Santa Maria del Lobo, and Professor Galya Popoff is waiting for her
poodle to finish his rest-stop by the college Campanile. In the
darkness, two hundred feet over their heads, Chancellor Siegfried
("Nazi") Nottbeck is honing his free climbing skills. Suddenly, his
body plunges out of the night sky and hits the bricks a mere two
feet from Galya. The police write it off as a bizarre accident. But
Galya insists it was murder and decides to take charge of the
investigation herself. She drafts her reluctant son, Lance Steele
(a.k.a. Pavel Popoff) a down-on-his-luck Soap star. He's fled
Hollywood and bill collectors to temporarily hide out at his
mother's place and work on his tan. The last thing he wants is to
play Watson to her Sherlock, but how do you say no to a feisty,
bossy Russian mother who once locked horns with the Soviet KGB -
and won. This unlikely trio (two Popoffs and a poodle) swings into
dizzying detective action, as Galya tracks a shrewd and savvy
murderer who will kill anyone to keep the secret of the Dead Souls
safe. Santa Maria del Lobo hasn't seen this much excitement since
The Great White Shark ate the prize-winning surfer from Australia.
