520    "From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 
       Silent Patient comes a spellbinding tale of psychological 
       suspense, weaving together Greek mythology, murder, and 
       obsession, that further cements "Michaelides as a major 
       player in the field" (Publishers Weekly). Edward Fosca is 
       a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is 
       untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy 
       professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by 
       staff and students alike-particularly by the members of a 
       secret society of female students known as The Maidens. 
       Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist
       who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a 
       friend of Mariana's niece Zoe, is found murdered in 
       Cambridge. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the 
       university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic 
       beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient 
       traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes 
       convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty 
       of the murder. But why would the professor target one of 
       his students? And why does he keep returning to the rites 
       of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the 
       underworld? When another body is found, Mariana's 
       obsession with proving Fosca's guilt spirals out of 
       control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as
       her closest relationships. But Mariana is determined to 
       stop this killer, even if it costs her everything-
       including her own life"--|cProvided by publisher.
