A dead child. A missing student. A darkness at the heart of Jericho college.A baby’s body is found in a dumpster, wrapped in a swan’s wing. Archaeology professor and expert consultant Carla James knows the unusual burial must have some significance. But what exactly is unclear.
A student from Jericho College has gone missing. Police say she left of her own accord, but this doesn’t seem right to Carla. The young woman didn’t tell anyone she was leaving and no one has heard from her since. And she’s not the first student to disappear.
As Carla delves deeper into both cases, she uncovers a rotten history beneath both the college’s and the town’s facade, perpetuated by lies and cover-ups. Can she uncover the truth?
A gripping and unsettling crime thriller about privilege and the dark underbelly of institutions we so easily trust. Perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs and Elly Griffiths.
