NOTES

Dub Wiggins faces a dilemma: The military boarding school where he studied for four years, and has taught for more than twenty, wants him gone - unless he toes the line for the autocratic headmaster who has ruled the institution for decades. But Dub is a contrarian. Conforming to clichéd norms makes him physically ill, so he devises a plan. He will play the good sheep, but only long enough to retaliate against the school with a scandalous memoir of the physical, mental, and sexual predation he suffered as a student - capped off with the real story of a murder committed by one of his classmates - if only he can remember exactly how it happened. When Dub was a student, brutality and betrayal derailed his first coming of age. But in his quest to bury the school in scandal, he finds a chance for redemption: He can either honor a solemn debt of friendship, or bring a murderer to justice. He cannot do both, yet his reclamation hangs in the balance
