Description

The matriarch of a prominent Princeton family is found stabbed to death in her locked basement in 1989. Why would anyone want to kill Cissy Stuart, one of the Ivy league town’s most well-known characters? The shocking investigation sprawls across decades, as police turn their attention from a serial attacker, to her son, to a group of Princeton University students who said they were at a Grateful Dead concert at the time of the killing. 

The hot-blooded investigator sees a conspiracy. Is he way off base? Or does privilege let you get away with murder?

Looking forward to this one. I graduated in 1986 and was on campus for reunions in late May 1989. I can't recall if I knew of this story.
