Feelings of jealousy and hate among the sorority set propel this racy suspense novel from Essence
bestseller Perrin (The Delta Sisters
). Phoebe Matthews, director of the pledge process at Alpha Sigma Pi at the University of Buffalo, enlists the aid of two of her sorority sisters, Camille and Miranda, in a plot to take Shandra James, the Zeta house sweetheart, down a notch after Shandra crawls all over Phoebe's fiancé at a dance. But what starts out as a harmless prank turns deadly after Shandra goes missing and her body turns up several days later. As the prime suspect, Phoebe must race against the clock to find the murderer before her friends break down and tell all. The recent attacks on co-eds already rocking the UB campus complicate Phoebe's task. Characters that pop off the page and a solid, well-paced plot will gratify Perrin's many fans. (Mar.)
