During the first session, the two detectives were polite, especially the older one, who took on the sympathetic uncle role. Once they held the door open for me and escorted me back to the elevator, I’d assumed my part was finished and I could go on speculating about what had happened to my roommate. But then the dean informed me that the detectives wanted to speak with me again.

Two Ladies of Yale University. Roommates. One blond, the other brown. One WASP, the other Latina. One Yale legacy multiple times over, the other grew up on food stamps. One vanished, the other was raped by her professor. But actually, it's about Vermeer.
One semester before graduation, Danielle Caruthers, a Yale senior, takes a train to New York City and vanishes. No one has heard from her since—not her parents in gilded Westport, not her senior advisor, eminent art historian Whitmore Verhaast, and not her roommate, Sabrina Gutierrez. The daughter of a single Colombian mother, Sabrina grew up on the rough side of Chicago and has been defying the odds ever since—most recently with a full scholarship to Yale. Now, as she sifts through the clues her roommate left behind, Sabrina discovers that Danielle was in hot pursuit of a centuries-old secret—the true identity of Vermeer. If Danielle’s explosive discovery is revealed, it would ruin Verhaast and expose the powerful cabal in the shadows behind him—a cabal ready to kill to keep the secret. Obsessed with solving the mystery of her missing friend, Sabrina leaves Yale behind and risks everything to bring the truth to light. Further fueling Sabrina’s perilous mission is her own score to settle…that is, if Verhaast doesn’t get her first
