About This Novel

This book is the first in the Harvard Economist Reasoning Series. On the wooded island of St. John in the Caribbean, the Laurel Bay Cane Garden Hotel is an ideal holiday destination. But for Henry Spearman, a Harvard economics professor who came for vacation, the place also gave him an unexpected proposition: murder. The police investigation on the island was almost completely on the rocks, and Spearman, a short, bald man who liked to use human behavior to train his curiosity, conducted his own investigation, but he used completely different laws-the principles of economics. At the heart of this story is a mystery: someone's behavior is invisible to everyone, but people don't know what is being hidden. When Spearman sees someone behaving irrationally and not achieving their goals at the lowest cost on the surface, he knows there must be something fishy. As long as he fully observes these "irrational" behaviors, he can deduce the problem of the other party.
