Spring Lake Book Break Book Club— New England White
When Kellen Zant, a brilliant black economist on the faculty of a New England college, is murdered in an apparent robbery attempt, the town of Elm Harbor is thrown into a stir. It recalls the 30-year-old scandal of the murder of Gina Joule, a professor’s daughter, and the subsequent killing of a local black youth charged with her murder. Unresolved issues of class and race continue to haunt the town, leery of outsiders and all members of the “darker nation,” including the new college president, Lemaster Carlyle, and his wife, Julia. The Lemasters are drawn into the investigation of Zant’s murder not just by virtue of Lemaster’s position but because Julia and Zant had once been lovers. Every clue threatens the stability of Julia’s marriage as she uncovers possible connections between Lemaster, a powerful black social club, and three former college roommates who share a secret that may reset the political landscape. Read New England White by Stephen L. Carter.
