Lemaster Carlyle, the president of the country's most prestigious university, and his wife, Julie, the divinity school's deputy dean, are America's most prominent and powerful African American couple. Driving home through a swirling blizzard late one night, the couple skids off the road. Near the sight of their accident they discover a dead body. To her horror, Julia recognizes the body as a prominent academic and one of her former lovers. In the wake of the death, the icy veneer of their town Elm Harbor, a place Julie calls "the heart of whiteness," begins to crack, having devastating consequences for a prominent local family and sending shock waves all the way to the White House.©2007 Stephen L.

Critic reviews

Advance Praise for New England White

"In the richness of his characters, both major and minor, and the intelligence of his writing, Carter rivals Scott Turow. Expect another bestseller."
-Publishers Weekly

"[An] irresistible--and highly intelligent--thriller. Carter strikes again."
-Kirkus

confusing at best

there are multiple names/characters thrown around to add to the weak story line that this book was actually quite painful to sit through, then to add to insult, the book would have you believe that the main character is this middle age person that can fight off a large dog at a moment notice

Expected so much more

listened to his first book. engaging, unique. this reader lost the sense of mystery. and/or the story tried to copy the first and missed. very disappointed. last of his books I'll read.
