DI Herbert Reardon is drawn into a world of secrets and lies when a body is discovered at a girls’ boarding school.
1930. When a body is discovered on the premises of the newly-established Maxstead Court School for Girls, Detective Inspector Herbert Reardon is called in to investigate. His wife Ellen having just accepted a job as French teacher, Reardon is alarmed to find the school a hotbed of scandalous secrets, suppressed passions, petty jealousies and wanton schoolgirl cruelty.

Who was she really – and why is Reardon convinced that more than one member of staff is not telling him the whole truth?
Then a pupil goes missing – and the case takes a disturbing new twist …
