Joint '72

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 cliched 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.
