Summary:
Late 1950s. Gainesville, Florida is a sleepy university town. Professors, students, townspeople rich and poor, and politicians-- all live ordinary lives. To all appearances. But their lives are disrupted by the scrutiny of The Committee, who use the powers of government and the police to investigate and reveal the most private acts of innocent men and women. The Committee believe they do God's and the government's righteous work. Tom Stall, scholarly, ambitious, and rising in his world of teaching and administration, is soon pitted in a struggle for the soul of a town, a university, and an ideal. -- adapted from back cover and Amazon info
