The Last Speaker of Skalwegian

Desperate to salvage his teaching career, Professor Lenny Thorson seizes the opportunity to document the Skalwegian language with Charlie Fox, its last living speaker. Or so he says.

If Charlie can convince a judge that he’s the last speaker of Skalwegian, he’ll inherit a mineral-rich island off the coast of Norway, which he plans to give to charity. If Charlie fails, the island will go to a mobster and his wife. 

When Lenny learns that Charlie isn’t quite who he says he is, he faces a dilemma: Should he blow the whistle on Charlie, or should he break the law and stay with the project?

Lenny chooses the latter, and he subsequently loses his job and his girlfriend, becomes the unsuspecting object of several grotesquely unsuccessful attempts to kill him, and ends up fighting for his life as a reenactor in an uproariously inaccurate Revolutionary War battle
