Thriller
Spencer Collins thinks his life at Harvard will be all about
basketball and pre-med; hard workouts and grinding work in
class. The friends he's made when he hits the storied
ivy-clad campus from a very different life in urban Chicago
are a happy bonus. But Spencer is about to be introduced to
the most mysterious inner sanctum of the inner sanctum: to
his surprise, he's in the running to be "punched" for one
of Harvard's elite final clubs.
The Delphic Club is
known as "the Gas" for its crest of three gas-lit flames,
and as Spencer is considered for membership, he's plunged
not only into the secret world of male privilege that the
Gas represents, but also into a century-old club mystery.
Because at the heart of the Delphic, secured deep inside its
guarded mansion club, is another secret society: a shadowy
group of powerful men known as The Ancient Nine.
Who
are The Ancient Nine? And why is Spencer—along with his best
friend Dalton Winthrop—summoned to the deathbed of Dalton's
uncle just as Spencer is being punched for the club? What
does the lore about a missing page from one of Harvard's
most historic books mean? And how does it connect to
religion, murder, and to the King James Bible, if not to
King James himself?
The Ancient Nine is both a
coming of age novel and a swiftly plotted story that lets
readers into the ultimate of closed worlds with all of its
dark historical secrets and unyielding power.
