From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient comes a captivating tale of psychological suspense that intertwines Greek mythology, murder, and obsession. Edward Fosca, a charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University, is suspected of murder by Mariana Andros, a brilliant but troubled group therapist. Despite his charm and the adoration he receives from students, especially from a secret society of female students called The Maidens, Mariana is convinced of his guilt after one of the members is found murdered. Once a student at Cambridge herself, Mariana senses that beneath the university's picturesque facade lies a dark secret. Her fixation deepens as she questions why Fosca would target a student and why he is obsessed with the rites of Persephone, the maiden who journeys to the underworld. As another body surfaces, Mariana's determination to expose Fosca's guilt spirals out of control, jeopardizing her credibility and personal relationships. Undeterred, she is willing to risk everything, even her own life, to stop the killer.
