More about the book
Her name is Elise Freeman, and her chilling cry for help comes too late to save her. But even more shocking than the lurid details is the revelation that the offenders, like their victim, are teachers at one of L.A.?s most prestigious prep schools. With Elise now dead by uncertain means, homicide detective Milo Sturgis is assigned to probe the hallowed halls of Windsor Prep Academy. And if ever he could use Dr. Alex Delaware?s psychological prowess, it?s now.Allegations of rape, assault, and possibly murder at this esteemed institution renowned for molding Ivy Leaguers make for a social and political time bomb. As the scandal-conscious elite of L.A. close ranks around Windsor Prep, Alex and Milo must penetrate the citadel of wealth and scholarship to expose the hidden anguish, dirty secrets, and deadly sins festering among society?s manor-born. But power and position are not easily surrendered, for that?s when the best and the brightest turn brutal and ugly.
