From the back cover:
At Simsbury College's most exclusive frat house, a teenage boy is found dead--battered, his bones broken, with sick rhymes scrawled all over his naked body...The cops call it suicide. Dean Templeton agrees. But then two students, lacrosse star Mark Jessy and beautiful nonconformist Shawn Jakes, discover evidence linking Sigma to crimes that could include bribery, extortion, rape, and murder. Clearly, Sigma Delta Phi isn't your typical college fraternity. And as Mark and Shawn get closer to its sinister heart, they find themselves investigating an organization whose leaders intend to control far more than the students at Simsbury College.
