A brutal serial killer stalks members of the Southern California branch
of The American Lewis Carroll Society, targeting members of a mysterious
and highly secretive Snark Club within the Society that meets once a
year in San Diego's fabled Hotel del Coronado to celebrate and
appreciate Carroll's epic nonsense poem, "The Hunting of the Snark".
After the first few murders, the killer, who intentionally leaves
Snarkian clues, is tagged by the media as "The Boojum", since the
monster's victims, collectors of rare editions of Carroll's classic
nonsense work, figuratively "vanish" when the killer strikes. Who is the
Boojum? What is the Boojum's motive? Will all ten hapless members of
this strange group die before the police can stop this Snarkian reign of
terror? Is it even safe for anyone in the Society to own more than one
copy of Carroll's darkest work?
