Look for academia, basketball mania, murder in new novel



Schanker


Novelist David Schanker earned a law degree from the IU School of Law-Bloomington and now teaches creative writing and screenwriting at the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI.

Schanker has put his law degree and creative bent to work in Natural Law, released earlier this month. It’s a novel that combines academia, law and Hoosier basketball mania in what he calls “a philosophical mystery.”

Natural Law is a sequel to A Criminal Appeal, the 1998 novel about a Marion County deputy public defender who investigates the murder of an arrogant professor. The work earned him the Edgar Award for best first novel.
