Ivory Tower

The Curious Cases of Professor Colmes as told by his loyal assistant William Hobson A.B.D.

With an obvious nod to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Colin Heston takes us inside the most mysterious of institutions The University, inhabited by many weird academics and administrators, not to mention students. William Hobson, Thomas Colmes’s trusted assistant, recounts the strange and challenging cases that arose among the inhabitants of the Ivory Tower in which they both reside, their offices deep in its basement. Hobson is not quite a doctor (ABD – All But Dissertation) and Colmes’s past is itself a mystery. But never before have the shenanigans and conundrums of academic life in a university been uncovered with such courage and thoroughness, the hallmarks of Colmes’s brilliance.
