Has Valentin Vermeulen had enough? The title of the latest book about the fictional globetrotting auditor is called The Last Straw.
Vermeulen, the literary creation of Ashland author Michael Niemann, is something of a reluctant crimefighter.
He's really just the guy who comes to investigate financial irregularities, but he invariably ends up getting tied up in events that get bigger and faster as he investigates.
Michael Niemann returns to the JX to share stories of his main character and his latest exploits.
