About the book: 2010 / David Poindexter, looking through documents on income received from real estate he owned, came across information about an old cottage rented by a certain Joe Martin. The rent was so ridiculous that he decided to go and look at the ruined house and the tenant himself. David expected to see an old eccentric, and hardly a friendly one at that. How was he supposed to know that Jo is a shortened version of the name Joanna?.
