Author/Columnist William D. Cohan presents his stunning account of the 2007 Duke Lacrosse Scandal as only an investigative reporter AND alumnus could write.
 
 William Cohan's work has been hailed as “authoritative” (The Washington Post), “seductively engrossing” (Chicago Tribune), “riveting” (The Economist), and “masterful” (Los Angeles Times). A stunning new account of the infamous Duke lacrosse scandal  
 
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 culture—unbridled ambition, intellectual elitism, athletic prowess, sexual and racial bias, and absolute prosecutorial authority—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 America’s rich and poor, and how the powerful protect themselves, even at the price of justice.

 Preliminary Reviews              
 
"William Cohan’s fascinating The Price of Silence shows that the Duke lacrosse case was not just a controversial legal investigation that became a heated media circus, but a conflict that illuminates the fierce pressures on America’s elite universities as they battle for power and prestige and money. Cohan’s deep character study of the principal figures involved also reveals the case as a crucible of fate that created distinct winners and losers."
– Bryan Burrough, author of Public Enemies and The Big Rich and co-author of Barbarians at the Gate

"William Cohan's scrupulously reported and grippingly-written account of this elite campus horror story makes clear that if you thought you knew what happened at Duke, as I did, there is much more to learn. This is a story that ought to disturb anyone who cares about contemporary college life. For the first time, Cohan gets many of the central characters to speak -- and what they have to say is eye-opening."
– Jane Mayer, author of The Dark Side.
