A chilling murder mystery
Father Colin McAvoy, a Scottish Jesuit priest, is the principal of the newly formed Matteo Academy.
With fifty students, the majority fee paying, he looks forward to being able to offer places to another fifty students whose parents are unable to pay.
Working on his staff is University friend Jimmy Cadigan, also a priest, and Father Francis Charron, an elderly priest, who had taught Colin at seminary school.
Charrons brilliant, but he assisted at an exorcism as a young priest and has never recovered from the experience.
One of the academys students, 17-year-old Philip Grant, dresses like Oscar Wilde and hasnt troubled to define his sexual orientation.
Irreverent and rebellious, hes researching the private lives of the faculty for a video mashup.
He asks to borrow the Matteo Ricci map, a sixteenth century map which has been donated to the school.
Philips enough of a handful, but then Auxiliary Bishop Matthew Ehrlich arrives at the school to tell Colin that he has a new pupil for him.
Colin tries to refuse; Ehrlich, conscious of the fundraising prospects, insists.
Miserable, Colin contacts his university friend Sarah Markham, a journalist who has just returned from Haiti.
Shes not convinced hes violent at all.
And then one of the boys is found dead from a possible drugs overdose.
With her old friend panicking and other faculty members behaving strangely, Sarah starts to call in favours to get to bottom of the murder.
Was she wrong about Graham? Can she unravel the mystery swiftly enough to save Colins school?
