From the author of the global #1 bestselling debut The Silent Patient comes a spellbinding literary thriller which weaves together Greek mythology, psychology, and murder... St. Christopher`s College, Cambridge, is a closed world to most. For Mariana Andros - a group therapist struggling through her private grief - it`s where she met her late husband. For her niece, Zoe, it`s the tragic scene of her best friend`s murder. As memory and mystery entangle Mariana, she finds a society full of secrets, which has been shocked to its core by the murder of one of its students. Because behind its idyllic beauty is a web of jealousy and rage which emanates from an exclusive set of students known only as The Maidens. A group under the sinister influence of the enigmatic professor Edward Fosca. A man who seems to know more than anyone about the murders - and the victims. And the man who will become the prime suspect in Mariana`s investigation - an obsession which will cost her everything... The Maidens is a story of love, and of grief - of what makes us who we are, and what makes us kill. * * * * * Praise for Alex Michaelides and his #1 global bestseller THE SILENT PATIENT: `Absolutely brilliant` STEPHEN FRY `Excellent` JOANNE HARRIS `Terrific` THE TIMES, Crime Book of the Month `Smart, sophisticated suspense` LEE CHILD `Compelling` OBSERVER `An absolute jaw-dropper` LUCY FOLEY `Hugely impressive` STEVE CAVANAGH `Totally original` DAVID BALDACCI `The pace and finesse of a master` BBC CULTURE `Genuinely chilling` SHARON BOLTON `Unforgettable` ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
