Stein, Stung

Author: Hal Ackerman
Publisher: Tyrus Books
Publication Date: 1 June 2011

A pilfered colony of honeybees and an elephant tusk that seeps up through an underground channel of tar propel Stein into his next series of escapades. He is catapulted out of the cushy comfort of his friend and now love's Beverly Hills home to investigate the most trivial of events, the theft of some honeybee hives. As in all of Stein's adventures, this little cottage industry is revealed to be a gigantic global economic force—a force that influences the billion-dollar almond pollination season in California as well as the honey that finances Al Quaeda.
