Les donzelles

Edward Fosca is a murderer. Mariana has no doubt about it. But Dark is untouchable. Professor of Greek tragedy at Cambridge, attractive and charismatic, and revered by teachers and students and, especially, by the enigmatic society of beautiful privileged students that everyone knows by the name of The Maidens. When Tara's body, one of Les Donzelles, is found stabbed, Mariana reluctantly returns to her old university to comfort her niece, Zoe, who had been a close friend of the victim. Tara's murder is only the first in a series of perverse crimes, and in a few days, the university where Mariana had spent the happiest days of her life becomes a scene of crime and perversion. Mariana is a psychotherapist and is convinced that behind her fascination with the sacrifices of Ancient Greece of Darkness, hides a depraved mind. But not even those who have known the darkest corners of the human soul up close can escape their own ghosts.
