**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
"Alex
Michaelides’s long-awaited next novel, 'The Maidens,' is finally
here...the premise is enticing and the elements irresistible."
―The New York Times
"A deliciously dark, elegant, utterly compulsive read―with a twist that blew my mind. I loved this even more than I loved The Silent Patient and that's saying something!"
―Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
comes a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together
Greek mythology, murder, and obsession, that further cements
“Michaelides as a major player in the field” (Publishers Weekly).
Edward
Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is
untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at
Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students
alike―particularly by the members of a secret society of female students
known as The Maidens.
Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled
group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a
friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge.
Mariana,
who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that
behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the
ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced
that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why
would the professor target one of his students? And why does he keep
returning to the rites of Persephone, the maiden, and her journey to the
underworld?
When another body is found, Mariana’s obsession with
proving Fosca’s guilt spirals out of control, threatening to destroy
her credibility as well as her closest relationships. But Mariana is
determined to stop this killer, even if it costs her
everything―including her own life.
