On the eve of a wedding, what to do when the groom mysteriously disappears? When the police and private investigators come up empty, what's a desperate bride to do? Call in the man with no qualifications: Caverlock Victor Oliver -- the world's only Consulting Philosopher. Will he prove there's no mystery that can withstand the prodigious powers of Applied Philosophy? Will he succeed in reuniting sweet Victorine with her lover? Will a Taoist-quoting bookworm solve the mystery ... and will he be paid? How much do you pay a Consulting Philosopher, anyway? The answers to these questions (and many more you would have never thought to ask) are all found in The Adventures of the Consulting Philosopher.
