The story

Dean George Pflug has survived academia by keeping his head down. But when star freshman basketball player Ash Cooper—on the verge of quitting the team and transferring to gender studies—falls into a coma, the “Harvard of the South” turns dangerous.

Pressured by powerful administrators to drop it, Pflug instead digs deeper, uncovering a predatory network of university elites, wealthy donors, and sexual exploitation behind Dupont University’s genteel facade. His investigation will cost him his job, if not his life. Enlisting the help of a queer professor, a civil rights lawyer, and a pair of mismatched FBI agents, Pflug must navigate blackmail, abduction, a suspicious death, and his own buried trauma to bring the truth to light.

Darkly comic and sharply observed, Pflug Finds His Flow blends campus satire with the rising tension of crime fiction. At once a biting commentary on institutional rot and a redemptive story of personal awakening, it’s a page-turner for readers who love morally complex heroes straying far outside their comfort zone.
