"All Zach Blumberg wants to do is finish his dissertation, say farewell to Yale, and get on with his life. But then every graduate student's nightmare comes true: All copies of his work, a study of an obscure nihilistic French philosopher, mysteriously vanish. When another student reports the same problem and then turns up dead, Zach suspects that the foul play is more than academic." "With the help of his friend Kate, Zach follows a trail that leads from a Princeton dorm to Yale's secret societies, from a Cornell keg party to appointment hearings for a Supreme Court justice. When he learns of a powerful group of writers, politicians, and professors who secretly adhere to and subtly espouse the tenets of an extremely subversive philosopher, Zach also learns that some of them will do anything to keep his alarming discoveries under wraps."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
