Scotland Yard Detective Joe Sandilands is caught off guard one night in 1933 by a phone call from a distressed boy named Jackie Drummond, who just might be the illegitimate son Joe never knew he had. Jackie is in trouble at his Sussex boarding school, where a teacher has been murdered.
When Joe gets himself assigned to the investigation, he learns the boarding school case is more complicated than it appears: A frightening number of boys, all from wealthy families, have gone missing over the school’s history, and by some coincidence none of the families have followed up on their sons’ whereabouts.
Media
“Cleverly is a terrific writer, and she’s also wonderful at setting a scene. Fans know that she supplies the glamour as well as the grime, and she’s one of the most adept puzzle-plot-makers now working. The clues are all there. But you won’t guess who it is until she gives you the final word.”
—The Globe and Mail
“As usual, Cleverly neatly captures the style and feeling of the period between the world wars and provides plenty of mystery, suspense and danger.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A great blood and guts blockbuster.”
—The Guardian
“Stylish and intricate ... Cleverly has perfect pitch for period and place, whether her hero is unearthing evil in India, England or France.”
