A woman has vanished from the Balsams Grand Resort, and it's up to the hotel's general manager and his old friend to find out what happened to her. That's the plot of a new mystery novel called A Last Resort by author Mark Okrant. Dr. Okrant's first book, Judson's Island, was both a murder mystery and a textbook for students of tourism planning. He joins Host Shay Zeller to talk about his latest work and how fiction and education can overlap.
