Description
Alex Michaelides - The Maidens
Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A
handsome and charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is
adored by staff and students alike—particularly by the members of a secret society of
female students known as The Maidens.
Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on
The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge.
Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that
behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies
something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is
guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students? And why
does he keep returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the underworld?
When another body is found, Mariana’s obsession with proving Fosca’s guilt spirals
out of control, threatening to destroy her credibility as well as her closest relationships.
But Mariana is determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her everything—including her own life.
