Publish or Perish

As if juggling two married lovers weren't enough on Professor Dana Buchwold's plate this semester, she's under pressure by the university's hierarchy to publish her latest academic work, an absolute necessity in competing for a tenure-track position. Nor, it seems, is she exempt from the red-tape rules of elitist politics that permeate her own classroom. When one of her wealthy students engages in plagiarism by submitting a sexually explicit thesis he purchased from an anonymous author at an online writing service, it clearly constitutes grounds for his expulsion. Revealing his secret, however, cannot be pursued without exposing even darker secrets about herself that Dana can't afford to be made public. In a vicious game of campus blackmail, can murder be far behind?
