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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePUBLISH OR PERISH\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThomas-Graham, Pamela:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003ePamela Thomas-Graham\u003c\/b\u003e is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard College and a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School.
