Anthropologist who can tell the race and age of a person from a jaw segment, has a number of violent encounters within a few days of arriving in Europe as a USOC guest lecturer. He finds enthusiastic female company in spite of dissing her feminism. All of the mid-20th century male self congratulation I prefer not to encounter. The plot is a mess of red herrings on a bed of confusion. An oldie but the beginner of a fine series (the others keep getting better). Introducing Gideon Oliver, a professor with a tendency to talk over everyone's head but knows his stuff and gets the job done. This story is more of a "deadly spies who are buffoons" than a murder mystery and is set in Europe rather than the Pacific northwest, but the characters are interesting and so is the plot. Besides, it was on sale! Joel Richards is convincing as the narrator. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

When anthropology professor Gideon Oliver is offered a teaching fellowship at U.S. military bases in Germany, Sicily, Spain, and Holland, he wastes no time accepting. Stimulating courses to teach, a decent stipend, all expenses paid, plenty of interesting European travel . . . What's not to like? It does not take him long to find out. On his first night, he is forced to fend off two desperate, black-clad men who have invaded his Heidelberg hotel room with intent to kill. And then there are a few trivial details that the recruiting agency forgot to mention-such as the fact that the two previous holders of the fellowship both met with mysterious ends. From there, it is all downhill. Gideon finds himself the target in an unfamiliar game for which no one has bothered to give him the rules. What he does have is his own considerable intellect and his remarkable forensic skills. He will need them, for he is playing for some fairly high stakes: the security of Western Europe.

I would say it's for completists - the series is completely different after this one, so if you like those, you probably won't like this.
