Uncorrected John Sheirer

Scantic Books is proud to present a new work of fiction by award-winning author John Sheirer. What would you do if you helped someone escape from prison and then realized he actually belonged there? Gary Sanderson is a thirty-something, idealistic college professor who takes on the project of teaching at a prison in southern Vermont. During his first prison course, Gary befriends an innocent-seeming inmate named Sam Curtis. Won over by Sam's charisma and background, Gary decides to help Sam escape. But Sam turns out to be not at all who Gary thought he was and soon begins to terrorize Gary. Gary is torn between going to the police (and incriminating himself in the escape) and trying to take on the psychopathic Sam by himself. Ultimately, Sam is too much for Gary to handle, so he seeks the help of Sandy Fren, the tough but empathetic police detective. She and Gary work to outsmart and capture Sam before he can achieve his final, twisted objective: killing Gary. Drawing on his own experience teaching college courses in prison, John Sheirer creates a gripping tale of manipulation, determination, and redemption. "Uncorrected is a thrilling and thoughtful exploration of a character's personal crisis while he's struggling to do the right thing. This one kept me on the edge of my seat while making me think and feel on many different levels about the concepts of good and evil." - Bill Pullman, Screen Actors Guild Outstanding Actor Nominee
