Duquesne University is not happy with John Grisham. His latest thriller uses the Pittsburgh Catholic school as the site of a fraternity house rape. his new novel.The rape is based on a true story that took place at the University of Virginia, where a former student confessed to raping a classmate at a fraternity party 20 years earlier. Grisham has told interviewers the school was picked at random because he just happened to be in Pittsburgh for a sporting event.
The central character in Grisham’s novel, The Associate, attends Duquesne on a basketball scholarship. It was during the 80’s that four players on the school's team were charged with raping a student. And two years ago, someone shot five Duquesne basketball players at the student union.
