Working Title: The Institute Time: 1954 Place:
Princeton, NJ
Genre: Roman Noir Synopsis: I like pulp
novels, the kind of books that leave smudges of blood and cordite on your
fingers when you’re through. Mickey Spillane, especially. Chandler’s a helpless
romantic, McCain’s a sob sister, Dash Hammett’s been useless since he settled
to the bottom of a whiskey glass. But Mickey Spillane, he’s my boy. Female mathematician Eddie Kessler likes men,
math and Mickey Spillane, in no particular order…So when blackmail upsets the
serenity of America’s biggest intellectual hotel, Eddie uses a little bit of
each to get to the bottom of it.
