A Study with Slugs

It is the early 1980s, and women are disappearing from the university campus in Santa Cruz, California, home of the Fighting Banana Slugs. The local police and state investigators are baffled, and so solving these crimes is left to a dope-smoking, recorder-playing surfer who lives in a large house overlooking Monterey bay and his friend and roommate, an invalided-out former Marine who is now a student himself. Follow Zack, their 10 housemates, and a wide cast of characters that includes some of their nearly dozen housemates as Toshihiro Watterson uses his unique powers of observation and deduction to notice clues everyone else misses and solve the crimes.
