James Womick ‘85 (Antioch School of Law) has released his novel The Art of Murder is now available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon.
“AI is at the forefront of discussions, from the dinner table to the classroom to the boardroom,” Womick says. “Haunted by doubt and driven by a need for justice, the novel’s protagonist, Dr. Calvin Farrell, embarks on his own quiet investigation—one that reveals far more than he anticipated. Beneath the surface of a historic university lies a storm of political tension and financial instability.”
The Art of Murder is the first in a planned series featuring Dr. Calvin Farrell, a sharp-minded professor at an HBCU who finds himself entangled in mystery, murder, and the murky world of high-stakes art.
Womick is a retired marketing executive, college professor, and lifelong storyteller. With a doctorate in business and decades of real-world experience, he brings depth and authenticity to his novel.
