The Elephant in the Ivy

the long version

A whimsical and irreverent spy novel- of sorts- in the beautiful and mysterious New England college underground. Alison Ashe is a junior at Brown. A scholarship kid, a theatre major, strapped for cash and even more strapped for time; she's easily annoyed and something about her privileged peers really wigs her out. But unlike most of her peers, Alison has an outlet where starting on third base doesn't do anyone any favors. Ancient and secret, Brown is home to a spy game of sorts. A game where all that matters is that your wits are sharp and you're willing to take big risks. And, of course, who you trust.
