<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The author of "A Darker Shade of Crimson" returns with Nikki Chase and once again delivers a beguiling, brisk and atmospheric whodunit set in Princeton and Cambridge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Pamela Thomas-Graham's beguiling and atmospheric Ivy League novels simmer with hot button issues -- and unveil layers of malice and murder inside the life academic. Harvard economics professor Nikki Chase is intent on becoming the first tenured African-American woman in her department. But with her affinity for solving crimes, she may make her name in a place where the highest levels of human intellect can court the lowest impulses of the human heart. <p/> <b>PUBLISH OR PERISH</b> <p/> A working weekend at a Princeton conference is just what Nikki needs to deflect the pre-holiday pressures -- both professional and personal -- that are closing in on her back in Cambridge. And there will be down time, too, at a party honoring professor Earl Stokes, her old friend and mentor. Rumors abound that Stokes, a Princeton superstar, may depart for Harvard, a change that would stir up as much controversy as his new bestselling book on race issues. When Stokes's body is discovered among the smoldering ruins of the not-yet-completed black-studies building, a shattered Nikki refuses to accept the police findings that the death was accidental. And among the ashes she will uncover a murderous agenda with ominous implications for not only the Princeton campus but Harvard as well.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Her scenes of academe's turf, gender, racial, and canon politics have the awful clink of truth. <br> -- <i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br><br>Pamela Thomas-Graham could do for higher education what John Grisham has done for the practice of law. <br> -- <i>The Washington Times</i><br><br>Thomas-Graham effortlessly reveals the inner workings of a prestigious university in a provocative novel sure to appeal well beyond the ivory tower. <br> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br>
