Sex, Death, and Boarding School
When seventeen-year-old Andrew Taylor is transplanted from his
American high school to a British boarding school--the English,
hypertraditional, all-boys Harrow School--he finds his past
mistakes following him, with an added element of horror: visions of
a pale, white-haired boy from Harrow's past. Either Andrew is
losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being
haunted is true.
When one of his schoolmates dies mysteriously of a severe
pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and spurned by nearly all his
peers. In his loneliness and isolation, Andrew becomes obsessed
with Lord Byron's story and the poet's status not only as a
literary genius and infamous seducer but also as a student at the
very different Harrow of two centuries ago--a place rife with
violence, squalor, incurable diseases, and tormented love
affairs.
When frightening and tragic events from that long-ago past start
to recur in Harrow's present, and Andrew's haunting begins to seem
all too real, he is forced to solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery
that threatens the lives of his friends and his teachers--and, most
terrifyingly, his own.
