Alexandra James, a.k.a. Alex, is a journalist for the New England Chronicle. She usually covers the education beat, but happens to be available when a man falls to his death from the Harvard bell tower. It initially looks as if his death is an accident or a suicide. However, the deceased is Thom Carlyle, son of Lowell Carlyle--the White House counsel. Alex thinks there might be more to Thom's death, and begins to pursue various leads. There are twists and turns, suspense, and a great plot. I hope we get to see Alex James in other books.
