The Professor of Eventide
Perfect for readers of The Secret History and The Historian, The Professor of Eventide is a slow-burning, atmospheric literary mystery that explores the thin line between intellectual obsession, the weight of eternity, and the madness of memory.
At Eventide College, the past is never buried-it is exhaled through the ivy and etched into the stone.
Professor Jonathan Ferrars lives in the shadows of academia, a man tethered to a history he cannot outrun-and a secret he has spent a lifetime concealing. When he arrives at Eventide College, the sanctity of the autumn term is shattered as three of his students are found murdered in a manner that feels less like a crime and more like a ritual.
As the police close in and the college's halls begin to tighten around him, Jonathan realizes the deaths are part of a meticulously crafted design-one that places him at the center of its unfolding tragedy. To preserve his sanity-and his freedom-he must uncover the rot at the heart of Eventide College before the darkness he has spent a lifetime outlasting finally claims him.
A story of isolation, the seduction of narrative, and the predatory nature of history, The Professor of Eventide is a haunting meditation on what happens when the ghosts we carry are as alive, and as enduring, as we are.
