The Price of Silence: The Duke Lacrosse Scandal, the Power of the Elite, and the Corruption of Our Great Universities

A Duke alumnus whose work has been hailed as â€œauthoritativeâ€ (The Washington Post), â€œseductively engrossingâ€ (Chicago Tribune), â€œrivetingâ€ (The Economist), and â€œmasterfulâ€ (Los Angeles Times), presents a stunning new account of the infamous Duke lacrosse team case.

Despite it being front-page nationwide news, the true story of the Duke lacrosse team rape case has never been told in its entirety. It is more complex and profound than all the reporting to date would indicate. The Price of Silence is the definitive account of what happens when the most combustive forces in American cultureâ€”unbridled ambition, intellectual elitism, athletic prowess, sexual and racial bias, and absolute prosecutorial authorityâ€”collide and then explode on a powerful university campus, in the justice system, and in the media.

Deeply reported and brilliantly written, The Price of Silence shines a bright light on the ever-widening gap between Americaâ€™s rich and poor, and how the powerful protect themselves, even at the price of justice.
