No question what's hung over Harrison, a college town in southern Indiana. The mysterious death of Marlene Scott, a precocious high school student, has gone unsolved for 50 years. Enter Phillip J. (Flip) Doyle and a course he teaches at Harrison College, a sleepy, staid academic fortress yet to discover the 21st century. The school's ambitious, new president, Jonathan Casey, wants to change all this with new, barrier-breaking faculty like Flip and their curriculum proposals. First, Flip must tiptoe his way past tenure-obsessed colleagues, an entrenched dean, and arcane department meetings sure cures for insomnia. As a lowly, young instructor with no PhD to his name, it was a high wire act for him simply to introduce a writing course to the Harrison curriculum---judged by peers too utilitarian and not a credible higher ed offering. Through Flip's networking, the students got their work published in the local Hoosier-Record, helping to revive a struggling newspaper faculty considered a joke. And, looking back, it was inevitable the ambitious, young teacher and his merry band of bright students would run head-first into the Marlene Scott case. Could they solve a 50-year old murder mystery? Did new technology open doors to a solution? Could the killer be found on Google? Joining Flip and the students in this exercise was a helpful, young woman, Maria, an outsider who opened their eyes to a world under their noses. Little did they know her own story was as compelling as the one they chased.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-68636\"\u003eMike Conklin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Write Stuff Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949661583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194966158X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC022100\"\u003eMystery \u0026amp; Detective | Amateur Sleuth\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Write Stuff Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44578241315053,"sku":"9781949661583","price":25.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_8eb93ea6-8d2f-40f6-b719-a983d634a8d2.jpg?v=1702043548","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/class-dismissed-9781949661583","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
