The Faculty Club by Danny Tobey (Atria Books, June 1, 2010)

Jeremy Davis has left his small Texas hometown to attend law school at a prestigious New England school.  Here he is tapped by a revered professor as a faculty assistant, and soon realizes that he is being considered for an exclusive society, along with three of his new One-L friends.  The four soon realize that only three of them will be inducted into the society and begin to form alliances trying to outwit and outlast the others.  Jeremy, at first, assures himself this society is not a big deal, but when promises of success and riches beyond his wildest dreams are made, he finds himself doing things he could have never imagined he would do and not liking himself very much.  The more Jeremy learns about V&D, the more he realizes there is something evil about the society and turns to his true friends to uncover the truth about this society and save the friends he might have made.  While the secret to the society is a little outside of reality, the fabulous academic setting and an intelligent plot, codes to solve, hidden tunnels to follow and a cast of mysterious, eccentric figures make this worth taking a chance on this first time author.
