When Dr. Tony Saint is accused of a violent crime at Ashbury University, even he isn't sure he's innocent. The kind of lecturer students are drawn to but colleagues despise, Saint has spent years cultivating enemies - and now they align to destroy him. At Ashbury, scandals don't just get hidden. They get buried along with the reputations of those who can never fight back. Under the direction of Professor Joan Magpye, the institution moves swiftly to protect itself, and Saint - already guilty of so much else - becomes the perfect sacrifice. Entering his life after the damage is done, student Patience Pawforth - with everything to live for and everything to lose - chooses to believe Saint has been wronged. Her decision to align herself with him is an act of faith in a man who may not deserve it, and one that will cost her more than anyone can imagine. For fans of Donna Tartt's The Secret History and Alex Michaelides' The Maidens - a novel about the cost of belief, the corruption of institutions, and the truth we bury to survive. A novel by A. J. Wynne
