Radical Equations — Robert Spiller

Math teacher extraordinaire and inveterate busybody, Bonnie Pinkwater is at it again. When she and her Wiccan sidekick Rhiannon Griffith are out hiking and find the body of Bonnie's boss, Vice Principal Clarence Murphy, their day takes a decided turn for the worse. But when that same body disappears then reappears seated at his desk, amid the wreckage in a tornado-ravaged high school, Bonnie proclaims things downright weird and decides to nose around. What show up are killer motorcyclists, suspicious preachers, tyrannical dwarves, high-stakes poker games, land-grabbing CEOs, and a damaged math genius desperately needing her help. As Bonnie and Rhiannon sort through a rising body count, Bonnie comes to a disturbing conclusion. Whoever is murdering the good citizens of East Plains, Colorado, has decided to eliminate one meddlesome math teacher.
