The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been
dead for several weeks before we came to understand the
gravity of our situation. In this brilliant debut novel, Donna Tartt gives us a
richly textured and hypnotic story of golden youth
corrupted by its own moral arrogance. Richard Papen had never been to New England before his
nineteenth year. Then he arrived at Hampeden College and
quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus
life -- in particular by an elite group of five students,
Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance,
highly unapproachable. Yet as Richard was accepted and drawn into their inner
circle, he learned a terrifying secret that bound them to
one another ... a secret about an incident in the woods in
the dead of night where an ancient rite was brough to
brutal life ... and lead to a gruesome death. And that was
just the beginning ...
