註釋"They began dying in the summer. Young Black women on the campus of York College, an elite private college in rural Michigan. Bright, beautiful women who fought for success in their studies and were soon to graduate. The officials said their deaths were tragic accidents, and Dr. Alexandra Janine Paradise, the only Black woman on York's faculty, reluctantly accepted it. That is, until her beloved student Kai Abiola is found floating in a bathtub filled with her own blood. Brilliant and beautiful, Kai was poised to begin a career in television, and Alex, who saw Kai as her young protege, younger sister--almost a daughter--refused to believe Kai deliberately harmed herself. Her opinion is shared by Detective Chancellor Solomon, who arrives from Detroit to assist the local authorities with the case. Desperate to understand what happened to Kai, Alex joins forces with the detective and quickly learns that the deaths of the other women are also suspicious. Is a serial killer active on the idyllic campus, or is something larger, deeper, and more sinister responsible for their deaths? Aided by Phoebe Dufresne, the New Orleans native who has been her closest friend since she arrived at York, Alex is soon trapped in a tangled maze involving a sensuous older professor who preys on his students, a secret book that may contain a coded message for her eyes alone, and a plot that reaches beyond the college to a stage much larger and more deadly than anything she could have imagined. Forced to face her enemy alone, all weapons seem useless against the brutal and vicious Domino..."--Back cover.
