Oxford’s dreaming spires hide darker secrets than anyone dares whisper. When a wealthy student is found savagely murdered in her college rooms, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart steps into her first big case. The victim had no known enemies, yet someone wanted her silenced in blood.
Bridget, still haunted by personal tragedy, must prove herself in the spotlight of her new promotion. The investigation drags her into a maze of privilege, lust, and ambition where reputations matter more than truth.
Behind the college gates, students and professors move like shadows, each concealing motives that could turn deadly. And as Bridget closes in, the killer watches from the shadows, ready to strike again. Can she solve the case before Oxford claims another victim?
