## Description

When Maurice Tyson, housemaster in a top boys' boarding school in Ireland, is found on the floor of a dormitory with his throat slit, even Superintendent Denis Lennon and Sergeant Molly Power of the Irish Police Force are shaken but, above all, perplexed. Is it a revenge killing? A kidnap attempt by terrorist operatives gone badly wrong? Or is there a connection to a former student who killed himself in a horrible way barely a year ago? Then a boy mysteriously disappears and, as the hunt gets underway for his abductors, events take a further dark turn. Sir Neville Randler, former occupant of the castle which the school now occupies, is found murdered bearing the signature mark of a slit throat. Someone out there has an awful lot to hide and will stop at nothing...
