New England White

New England White is a 2007 novel by American author Stephen L. Carter. The book was Carter's second work of fiction, and forms the second part of Carter's Elm Harbor series, following 2002's The Emperor of Ocean Park and preceding 2008's Palace Council. A murder mystery, the novel is set in a fictional town in New England, and tells the story of the murder of a black economist, and the intrigue that surrounds the attempts to cover up both this and a murder 30 years previously in the same town, drawing on issues around race, academia, and politics.

For his work on New England White, Carter won the 2008 BCALA Literary Award, and was nominated for the 2008 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, Fiction.
