The Theban Mysteries

More about the book

A Greek heroine plays an astonishing role in the mystery of a dead body. Beautiful and brilliant Kate Fansler has returned to the Theban—her alma mater and New York’s most exclusive girls’ school—to teach a seminar on Antigone. The bold and defiant words of Antigone have a surprising relevance for these sophisticated students caught up in today’s world of sex, drugs, and shrinks. But social relevance changes to real crisis when a student’s mother is found in the school building—dead of fright. With characteristic aplomb, Kate tackles the mystery, and discovers some bizarre activities indeed.
