Hard-boiled noir meets academic satire in Academy Gothic. Tate
Cowlishaw is late for another faculty meeting when he discovers the
body of Scoot Simkins, dean of Parshall College. Cowlishaw might be
legally blind but sees that a man with three bullets in his head
didn't put them there himself. The police disagree. When Cowlishaw
investigates, he is told his teaching contract won't be renewed.
Suspects aren't hard to come by at the college annually ranked
"Worst Value" by U.S. News & World Report. While the faculty
brace for a visit from the accreditation board, Cowlishaw's
investigation leads him to another colleague on eternal sabbatical.
Before long, his efforts to save his job become efforts to stay
alive. A farcical tale of incompetence and corruption, Academy
Gothic scathingly redefines higher education as it chronicles the
last days of a dying college.
