Rosie Day’s powerful new thriller explores historical abuses of power, consent and untangling trauma. Alex Hassell narrates Jack Collins’ chapters in this multi narrator Audible Original.
Retracing the steps of her youth, Eloise Hart returns to the secondary school where she studied under the mercurial brilliance of Jack Collins. But Eloise isn’t here to teach the young minds of tomorrow, she’s here to burn this man from the inside out.
When she discovers sixteen year old Olivia in her class, a new musical prodigy at the school, the echoes of the past begin to feel dangerously close. Who does Olivia remind her of? Why does Eloise feel both rejected and protective? What once felt so clear, quickly becomes clouded with competing desires.
As old secrets burn with new flames, Eloise must master the very feelings that have shaped her to stop history repeating itself again. And so begins a thrilling game of cat and mouse between the master and the apprentice, where each has the power to destroy the other. But what happens when you no longer recognise your instincts? Who do you turn to when you can no longer trust yourself?
