In the aftermath of a school shooting in which a recently hired history teacher killed three students and a colleague before turning the gun on himself, Detective Inspector Lucia May pieces together witness testimonies and discovers a more sinister truth that her superiors are not interested in revealing. Reprint.
It certainly reads like an open-and-shut case--a high school history teacher walks into an assembly, kills two students and another teacher, and then shoots himself--clearly the actions of an unstable individual. But London Detective Inspector Lucia May just doesn't believe that's the whole story. So despite pressure from her macho superiors, she investigates the tragedy, exposing a web of implication and guilt that expands way beyond one disturbed individual.
