"Entertaining, humorous, exhilarating, and featuring impressive characters, this legal thriller turns out to be a winner." - Kirkus Reviews
Nell Hatley, a thirty-something law professor at an Ohio university, is mostly concerned about getting tenure, until the day a law student enters a faculty meeting and starts shooting. One professor dies, another is wounded. The police find three names scribbled on a note in the shooter's pocket - the two victims' and Nell's.
When the official investigation is mysteriously suppressed, Nell pushes ahead to discover the shooter's motive. Aided by her loyal boyfriend, a D.C. lawyer, and a quirky law school dropout nicknamed the Mouse, Nell uncovers the somber secrets of a lawsuit over a Monet painting - and a conspiracy of theft, fraud, and murder dating back to World War II. Amid growing threats, Nell must confront personal demons and insecurities about her own competence as a law professor.
A fast-paced thriller, *Girl with Egg Basket* wends a dark path through the world of Nazi art theft, high-stakes litigation, and academic politics.
