He’s a professor of Constitutional Law at Yale and a commentator on race and religion in America, and also the author of the bestselling murder mystery The Emperor of Ocean Park. His book, New England White, just out in paperback, is also a thriller: it revolves around a prominent black family living in a picture-perfect, solidly white enclave near an Ivy League university.
