The Darkling Halls of Ivy
by Lawrence Block
In colleges and universities, there’s plenty of danger lurking behind the stolid stonework, leather-bound volumes, and thickets of ivy. Editor Lawrence Block has assembled 18 authors and turned them loose on the world of academia, where petty rivalries and grand betrayals inflame relations between professors and students, deans and donors. From Ian Rankin to Joe Lansdale, Seanan McGuire to David Morrell, each author reveals the dark truths and buried secrets of institutions of higher learning. You’ll encounter plagiarism, sexual misconduct, and brutal competition—not to mention secret societies, cover-ups of murder, and one near-future course of study.
