Meet Shea. He's difficult—he suffers from pathological problems with authority and an unrepentant truthfulness. When he's not fixing computers in the library at Harvard Medical School, he's tormenting middle managers, and feuding with his boss. But where in the Harvard employee manual does it say you have to behave perfectly at all times? When one day he uncovers the administration's secret plot to replace the library with a Starbucks cafe, Shea decides to stop them. He soon finds himself on a collision course with just about everyone, including a vivacious librarian named Astrid who doesn't quite agree that stealing the world's most famous skull is the best way to save a library. What follows is a comical and heart-warming tale of a misfit breaking all the rules in his quest to become a better person. A feel-good story in the spirit of The Rosie Project and The Pink Panther, Kris St.Gabriel's novel offers a thoughtful exploration of the profound power of narrative to transform the world. "The author's irreverent, quirky sense of humor brings us this satirical book which perfectly captures the unique craziness of life at Harvard Medical School and its preeminent library. With this book Kris St.Gabriel has created a great work of fiction although as I read the book there were many times when I couldn’t help but wonder if in fact it all actually happened." — Ed Coburn, former Publishing Director, Harvard Health Publications department of Harvard Medical School
