Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In a sleepy late 1950s Florida university city, ordinary lives are suddenly disrupted by the nefarious workings of a shadowy group of men, The Committee, who use the powers of government and the police to investigate and reveal the most private acts of innocent men and women. Set against the backdrop of political turmoil and the clash of classes and cultures - Southern, academic, patrician, and demimonde - The Committee pits Professor Tom Stall a colleague, a university president, and an old friend turned deadly enemy in a struggle for the soul of a town, a university, and an ideal.
"Professor Tom Stall's career and life are threatened when a nefarious government-affiliated group of men begin investigating the private acts of innocent people in late 1950s Florida."-- Provided by publisher.
