[Cassandra Sato 01] • Death by Dissertation

She traded her life in Hawai'i for a dream job in Nebraska. 

Now she's fighting for her job, and her life. 

The first in the wise-cracking, page-turning, Cassandra Sato mystery series.

Ambitious Cassandra Sato traded her life in Hawai'i for a dream position at Morton College in rural Nebraska. She expected the Midwestern church casseroles, land-locked cornfields, and face-freezing winters would be her biggest challenges, but it's her job that's rapidly becoming a nightmare.

A deaf student is dead and the investigation reveals a complicated trail of connections between campus food service, a local farmer's beef, and the science lab's cancer research. Cassandra knew nothing about Deaf Culture and ASL before but, oh-boy is she getting an education now. 

Dealing with homesickness, vandalism, and a stalker, Cassandra is trapped in a public relations disaster that could cost her job, or more. No one said college was easy. 

Death by Dissertation, a fresh take on the cozy mystery, appeals to Hawai'i lovers, Deaf Community members, and anyone who has lived in a place where livestock outnumber people.
