Description
Professor Daphne Ouverture has chosen a simple life. She spends her days grading papers, going on atrocious dates, and telling herself that her small world suits her just fine. Then Sam Taylor dies. The arrogant, rising star of Harrison University’s anthropology department rarely acknowledged Professor Ouverture's existence and was hardly one of her favorite colleagues. But that hasn't stopped his killer from believing Professor Ouverture has something that belonged to Sam—something the killer will stop at nothing to get.
In between grading papers and navigating her disastrous love life, Professor Ouverture embarks on a deadly investigation to find out what connects her to Sam’s murder—with the help of local detective Asma Ahmed and alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller, Rowan Peterson. As Professor Ouverture gets closer to the truth she begins to uncover a secret history of injustice on campus and off.
