We Keep the Dead Close

Becky Cooper spent years investigating the 1969 unsolved murder of Harvard archaeology graduate student Jane Britton, untangling decades of campus rumour, institutional secrecy and embedded sexism. Her obsessive pursuit culminates when DNA technology finally identifies the killer, fundamentally reframing a haunting cold case and raising questions about the cost of institutional self-protection.
