Description
Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on a secret society of female students known as The Maidens after one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered at Cambridge. Mariana, a former student herself, suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the university lies something sinister. She becomes convinced that Edward Fosca, a handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor adored by his students, is the killer, despite his alibi. But why would he target one of his students, and what is the significance of his fascination with the rites of Persephone?
When another body is discovered, Mariana’s obsession with proving Fosca’s guilt spirals out of control, threatening her credibility and her closest relationships. Determined to stop the killer, Mariana must confront the darkness lurking beneath the ancient traditions, even if it costs her everything—including her own life.
