Beneath the refined surface of Docere House lies a tale of espionage, betrayal, and murder

When the body of science master Ralph Gower is discovered, it’s clear that there’s much more to the esteemed private school than just academic excellence. Tommy and Evelyn Christie find themselves on a treacherous journey to uncover the truth.

The intrepid sleuths are no strangers to mysteries, but this case is unlike any they’ve encountered. Ralph Gower’s death is originally thought to be an accident, but a cryptic message and a series of strange occurrences suggest something far more sinister. As they dig deeper, they uncover a tangled web of deceit that reaches back to the war—a time when loyalty was tested, and betrayals were fatal.

The Christies unravel a series of coded clues that lead them to a hidden passage, wartime espionage, and a scandal that will forever tarnish the legacy of Docere House. But as they close in on the truth, they realise that someone will stop at nothing to protect the secrets buried within the school’s walls.

Evelyn and Tommy must confront not only the shadows of the past but also their own family’s ties to the school. As the danger intensifies, can they unmask the culprit before Docere House’s dark history claims another victim?

Perfect for readers of Lynn Morrison, Benedict Brown, and Kelly Mason.
