About the book:

English professor Lila Maclean is thrilled about her new job at prestigious Stonedale University, until she finds one of her colleagues dead. She soon learns that everyone, from the chancellor to the detective working the case, believes Lila—or someone she is protecting—may be responsible for the horrific event, so she assigns herself the task of identifying the killer.


More attacks on professors follow, the only connection a curious symbol at each of the crime scenes. Putting her scholarly skills to the test, Lila gathers evidence, but her search is complicated by an unexpected nemesis, a suspicious investigator, and an ominous secret society. Rather than earning an “A” for effort, she receives a threat featuring the mysterious emblem and must act quickly to avoid failing her assignment…and becoming the next victim.

  1. Question to the author: Are there vocabulary words or concepts in your book that may be new to readers? Define some of those.

  2. Hi Mai: Good question! The idea of "publish or perish" might be one: it means that when you are on the tenure track, you are expected to publish academic articles and books (or else you will not be granted tenure, which means you get to stay at the institution). Thanks for commenting!
