Synopsis
INTRODUCING ACADEMIC SLEUTH BEN REESE
A college professor dead under mysterious circumstances. A secretary who hates the victim with lethal ferocity. A vengeful former student. To university archivist and former intelligence agent Ben Reese, the sudden death of his old friend and colleague Richard West, Chair of the English Department, looks like murder, but in a small buttoned-down private college, can it ever be proved? Not until an attack on his own life tells Ben all he needs--and fears--to know about a brilliant, sociopathic killer. . . .

Review
The Ivory Tower of academia may look serene from the outside, but inside it's a snakepit. At least according to Sally S. Wright in her wickedly pointed campus mystery, Publish or Perish. The victim here is Richard West, head of the English Department at a tony private college in Ohio and keeper of an academic ethic that belonged to an earlier age. The sleuth is Professor Ben Reese, a smart historian with a nose for crime. After reading Publish or Perish readers may see beneath the staid surface of university life, suspecting page-turning stories hidden from the untutored eye.
From the Back Cover
"PUBLISH AND PERISH is put together with polish and precision. It echoes such classic writers as Dorothy Sayers and Ngaio Marsh without in any way imitating them."
--The Washington Times
"Sally Wright puts a clever twist on the campus mystery."
--The New York Times Book Review
