Las doncellas

Edward Fosca is a murderer. At least, group therapist Mariana Andros is certain of it. Fosca, a handsome and charismatic Greek Tragedy professor at Cambridge University, is adored by staff and students alike. He is particularly revered by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens. But when one of The Maidens, a friend of Mariana's niece, is found brutally murdered, Mariana's conviction solidifies. She finds herself drawn back to her alma mater, a place of idyllic beauty and ancient traditions, convinced that something sinister lies beneath the surface.

Despite Fosca's solid alibi, Mariana's suspicion evolves into a fixation that drives her to investigate the killing herself. As she delves deeper into the professor's world and his selective group of students, their shared obsession with Greek myths of tragedy and death seems to bleed into the present. When another body is found, Mariana's relentless pursuit of the truth begins to threaten her credibility and her closest relationships. She must decide how far she is willing to go to stop a killer, even if it costs her everything.
