About the book
Beneath the polished exterior of Docere House lies a story of intrigue, treachery, and homicide.
Upon the discovery of science master Ralph Gower's body, it becomes evident that the prestigious private school harbors more than just academic achievements. Tommy and Evelyn Christie embark on a perilous quest to unveil the reality.
The daring investigators are accustomed to solving mysteries, but this particular case proves to be unlike any they have encountered. Initially dismissed as an accident, Ralph Gower's demise takes a sinister turn with a mysterious message and a sequence of peculiar events. The deeper they delve, the more they uncover a complex web of lies that traces back to the war - a period marked by loyalty trials and fatal betrayals.
The Christies decipher a series of encoded hints that guide them to a concealed passageway, wartime espionage, and a disgrace that will forever stain Docere House's reputation. However, as they near the truth, they realize that someone is determined to safeguard the secrets concealed within the school's walls.
Evelyn and Tommy must not only confront the shadows of the past but also their family's connections to the school. With mounting peril, can they identify the culprit before another victim falls prey to Docere House's grim past?
Ideal for fans of Lynn Morrison, Benedict Brown, and Kelly Mason.
