Promoted with Tenure - K B Fisher

Résumé :
How far will science go when reputations are on the line? The University of New Orleans is a modest, tight-knit community of diligent academics. When the chair of the biology department is violently murdered, assistant forensic pathologist Hunter Romero has her own rather unique suspicions about the crime scene. Hunter's intuition is tested when evidence is leaked to a prominent national magazine, releasing privileged information that could hinder the investigation, putting her trust in those nearest to her on shaky ground. As professors scramble to keep the academy alive and well, more bodies begin to surface, sending the College of Sciences into a spiraling stupor. Lured by the developing evidence, the newbie pathologist launches an inquiry of her own into one of the department's most renowned biologists-the interim chair's newly tenured husband. Is Hunter's background in entomology enough to outsmart a serial murderer, or is she merely being blinded by the familiar? And how far will science go when reputations are on the line?
