He lives in an idyllic, out-of-town, plantation-style mansion with a beautiful and intelligent wife and an adoring teenage stepdaughter. As he returns to the university after a long and relaxing sabbatical, there is a full professorship in the offing—and, what's more, he has managed to stay off the booze for two whole years. But, once term begins, things deteriorate rapidly. The damning evidence that he has sexually harassed his students is just the beginning as Dave finds himself sucked into a vortex of conspiracy, betrayal, jealousy, and murder. Unless he can discover quickly who is out to destroy him, all that he is and loves is about to be stripped away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myrmidon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043775135984,"sku":"9781905802340","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905802340_p0.jpg?v=1763616352","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905802340","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
