As she gets more deeply entwined and more suspicious of the professor, Mariana plans to rely on her “instinctive knowledge of human nature” to figure out who killed Tara.
Mariana is determined to protect Zoe, who she thinks knows more than she’s telling, especially regarding the possible involvement of Fosca, the sinister professor of Greek tragedy. As a shy student, she first encountered her future husband Sebastian there, “emerging like some strange mythical creature, a demigod born in water” after he fell off his punt. With already a lot to fret over, including a troubled, and perhaps dangerous, patient, Mariana returns to her alma mater Cambridge. Zoe, who Mariana considers her “surrogate daughter,” sounds scared: Her close friend Tara, a fellow student, is missing, and an unidentified body has been found murdered in marshland near the college.
