Reunion at University Avenue
Book 1 of 3 in the Mike Adams series
Release date: January 2005

Two crowds of brightly colored t-shirts. A budget for parties and field trips. And a secret society to help them land jobs after it is all over. Who said campus politics couldn’t be funny?

Apparently, even the idealist underdogs could be underhanded...

Mike Adams is a lobbyist who once toppled an ethically challenged congressman in a primary, only to leave office after just one term. Now an author of an instant cult classic, he is returning home to bitter-sweet memories and eerie messages. Adam Ruppesberger, a no-name Hollywood director that Adams knew in college has renewed their professional partnership with gusto. And a D.C. native, the reclusive Bennita Jones comes out of hiding to help Mike uncover the true identity of his attacker – once they resolve that the person is someone they knew at the University. The three of them hatch a plan to expose the antagonist, at Mike’s twenty-year high school reunion…

In this fast-paced thriller, interspersed with excerpts of Mike’s novel-within-a-novel (which are in turn loosely based on events at the University of Florida, circa 1999-2002), one truly gets a feel for a world where campus politics is taken far too seriously, where the reputation of a secret society could lead to murder. His debut novel, Reunion at University Avenue delivers an action-packed adventure and a mystery that is tantalizingly near-impossible for the reader to solve on their own. It also sets up a main character and a world that Kenneth Kerns can continue to explore for years to come.
