Synopsis

A group of scholars at the fictional St. John and Holy Ghost College are drawn into a decades-old conspiracy involving a murdered man, a hidden fortune, and the dark history of the institution itself. As Simon Darcourt and Maria Theotoky investigate the truth behind the death of a former student and the secrets buried in the school's past, the plot unravels through a murder investigation that exposes the true nature of the men and women around them. The novel is a dense, character-driven mystery set against the backdrop of a Catholic college's history, told through multiple points of view.
