For generations, privileged young men have attended St.
Oswald's Grammar School for Boys, groomed for success by
the likes of Roy Straitley, the eccentric Classics teacher
who has been a fixture there for more than thirty years.
This year, however, the wind of unwelcome change is
blowing, and Straitley is finally, reluctantly,
contemplating retirement. As the new term gets under way, a
number of incidents befall students and faculty alike,
beginning as small annoyances but soon escalating in both
number and consequence. St. Oswald's is unraveling, and
only Straitley stands in the way of its ruin. But he faces
a formidable opponent with a bitter grudge and a master
strategy that has been meticulously planned to the final,
deadly move.
