Steve Asher seems to get into a lot of trouble for an eighth grade history teacher. Steve is bright, inquisitive, and thinks he's much funnier than most other people do. Steve is divorced, dating his ex-wife, surrounded by eccentric, kooky friends and trying to be a darn good teacher. The last thing he wants to do is solve murders.

"Asher joins Spencer, Scudder, Gunther, Kinsey and Carlotta as welcome company." -David R. Surette, author of Malden.
