Novelist Stephen Carter

For Stephen Carter the plot thickens again.

The Yale Law School professor-turned-novelist struck gold with his debut novel "The Emperor of Ocean Park" - a searing murder mystery that took readers inside the world of black America's upper crust.

This summer, Carter's turning up the heat again with his new thriller "New England White." The plot and characters come with more twists and turns than San Francisco's famed Lombard Street.

It's a thriller that will keep you guessing who dunnit and get you thinking about faith, race, the American family, politics and more.
