"FASCINATING . . . The dialogue is, as always, elegant and polished."
--Los Angeles Times
While guest-teaching a semester at Schuyler Law School, Kate Fansler gets to know an extraordinary secretary named Harriet, who patterns her life after John le Carr 's character George Smiley. Harriet reveals that Schuyler has some serious skeletons swinging in its perfectly appointed closets, including the fate of Schuyler's only tenured female professor and a faculty wife who has killed her husband. As if Kate doesn't have enough to tackle, she is also up against the men who comprise the faculty of Schuyler itself--a thoroughly unapologetic bastion of white male power, mediocrity, and misogyny. Although she has only a few months on campus, Kate refuses to let Schuyler's rigid ideals and insistence on secrecy suppress her indefatigable curiosity--or her obsession with the truth. . . .
"Cross manages to keep this book as lighthearted and witty as any of the Kate Fansler mysteries, while depicting an institution as lethal as any cold war."
--Marilyn French
"A funny, snappish polemic on political correctitude that takes great relish in Kate's sardonic views."
--The New York Times Book Review

Strong, convenient, and perfect for busy setups
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 150 Count (6 Packs of 25 Bowls), Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 150 Count (6 Packs of 25 Bowls)
These bowls are a staple in both my home and now adding them to Airbnb property. They’re sturdy enough to handle soups, cereals and even heavier meals without getting soggy or collapsing too fast. I love that they’re microwave safe and compostable makes cleanup easy and eco-friendlier. The 20 oz size is generous and the pack of 6 lasts a good while for sure especially when you’re hosting guests or just want a no-fuss option for meals (or for the teenage boys and their friends coming for a quick bite). You'll appreciate the convenience, and I appreciate not having to worry about dishes piling up all the time. Design and color has some fun to it over the typical white basic kind. Definitely a good value and also doesn't have that weird scent or doesn't leave that weird taste to it. If you’re looking for durable, disposable bowls that don’t feel flimsy, these are a solid pick.

Sturdy heavy duty plates
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 150 Count (6 Packs of 25 Bowls)
I have bought these Dixie plates for a few years. They are very good, sturdy plates. I also have the bowls to match. Plates are sturdy and will not bend like regular paper plates

Save Sanity (and Sinks)
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 56 Count
These 20-ounce bowls have been a lifesaver for a big family with no time—or sanity—to spare for a sink full of dishes. Don’t fill one with water and leave it overnight unless you’re running a paper-mâché experiment. For hot soup, I’d recommend using two bowls, but for cereal, pasta, snacks, or fruit, they’re perfect. I even found one that had been left outside in the rain for a few days and it still hadn’t disintegrated—so sturdiness gets bonus points. Also, three scoops of ice cream plus toppings? Tested and verified. If you value your peace of mind more than your dish pile, these are the bowls you’re looking for.
