      About This Book

      Gervase Fen returns to school and teaches a few lessons about murder.

      The alluring young schoolgirl Brenda Boyce disappears on the eve of Speech Day at Castrevenford School. Has she been spirited away by some unknown lover, or does her disappearance have some connection to the poisonous chemicals missing from the science lab? When the small mysteries of life at the school suddenly climax in the brutal murder of two masters, Fen applies his own special talents to unraveling the intrigues of private-school life. His investigation uncovers hidden ambitions, long buried deceptions--and a rare literary treasure that has the power to turn scholars into murderers.
