Sobre IBD

While working in a British library, Professor Harry Winston discovers a lost play by Shakespeare. In a version of detective story, he authenticates his finding and sits atop the academic pyramid. But like Icarus or Humpty Dumpty, he has a great fall. He runs afoul of the puritanical moral code of the nasty little college where he has taught for years. Will he decide to drag anyone with him in his downward journey? Has he mastered the 'tuck-and-roll' technique well enough to survive? He wonders.
