Veritas

Blackmailed by her tyrannical dean over an illicit affair, Isobel believes her career is over. But when the dean is found murdered in his locked office—killed with a surgical, untraceable poison—Isobel's problems are just beginning.

Framed alongside two other desperate colleagues, Isobel discovers the murder is merely the opening move in a terrifying game. The real killer is targeting the "Ciceronian Circle," a forty-year-old shadow court of billionaires and politicians who rule the university from the dark.

With a corrupt local police force closing in and a black-ops hit squad hunting them through the campus's subterranean tunnels, Isobel and her fellow fugitives have exactly 24 hours to expose the ultimate academic conspiracy. But to tear down the empire and clear her name, Isobel must confront a horrifying truth: the monster orchestrating the slaughter might be the man sharing her bed.

Will the truth set her free, or bury her forever?
