Intro:
Jeremy Cook is the resident genius at the Wabash Institute, a southern Indiana linguistics think tank attached to a daycare center. Cook seeks knowledge on many fronts: he wants to know how toddlers learn to talk, how he can endear himself to the beautiful new research assistant, and why one of his colleagues has suddenly turned up dead in Cook’s own office. The rustic local law in the form of the unpredictable Lieutenant Leaf bears down on the suspects: the staff of linguists, who, far from the amiable, gentle souls one associates with the study of children, are a cantankerous bunch who can barely stand one another. Tempers flare and accusations fly, and when a second body turns up, Cook must rely on his linguistic wits to save himself.
