Publisher Comments:
"Powerful...Enthrallling...A ferociously well-paced entertainment."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Richard Papen arrived at Hampden College in New England and was quickly seduced by an elite group of five students, all Greek scholars, all worldly, self-assured, and, at first glance, all highly unapproachable. As Richard is drawn into their inner circle, he learns a terrifying secret that binds them to one another...a secret about an incident in the woods in the dead of night where an ancient rite was brought to brutal life...and led to a gruesome death. And that was just the beginning....
"A smart, craftsman-like, viscerally compelling novel."

What a stunning first novel! I read it when it was first published, and I was enthralled. This is not your run-of-the-mill murder mystery, nor are the characters your typical college students. Richard, the protagonist of the novel, comes to discover the dark secret his fellow students of ancient Greek are keeping from him, and is pulled into a conspiracy of silence and lies. The novel takes a deep look at the ugly underside of a beautiful surface, where nobody is innocent, nobody is perfect, and nobody is safe. Thoroughly engrossing.
