The shadow scholar - Dave Tomar

Dave Tomar wrote term papers for a living. Technically, the papers
were "study guides," and the companies he wrote for-there are quite a
few-are completely aboveboard and easily found with a quick web search.
For as little as ten dollars a page, these paper mills provide a custom
essay, written to the specifics of any course assignment. During Tomar's
career as an academic surrogate, he wrote made-to-order papers for
everything from introductory college courses to Ph.D. dissertations.
There was never a shortage of demand for his services. The Shadow Scholar is
the story of this dubious but all-too-common career. In turns shocking,
absurd, and ultimately sobering, Tomar explores not merely his own
misdeeds but the bureaucratic and cash-hungry colleges, lazy students,
and even misguided parents who help make it all possible.
