Description
In a remote winter town, a series of unsettling deaths draws the attention of a young investigator with a sharp mind and a troubled past. When a mysterious case involving a prestigious academy and a haunting, pale-blue presence refuses to yield to logic, he must navigate secrets, rivalries, and the fragile boundary between reason and obsession. Blending historical atmosphere with gothic suspense, the novel explores the costs of ambition, the unreliability of perception, and the way trauma can distort truth. With Louis Bayard’s meticulous period detail and cinematic storytelling, this is a chilling mystery that builds toward a revelation without ever surrendering its eerie, lingering doubt.
