Now that we know how widespread the failure to protect the
vulnerable has been in schools and institutions, 'how could it have
happened?' is the constant question. This novel explores that. Set
in a private school a little in the past - at a time of turbulence
following the death of the old headmaster - a sinister thread runs
through the attempts to take the school forward, where issues of
child protection risk being buried in the protection of profits. In
this school examination, with few sources of light amidst the dark
shadows, there is a slow reveal of events as the story unfolds. The
outcome is uncertain - will things be swept under the carpet or
will the rottenness at the heart of this particular academic
establishment be exposed? Very close to crime fiction but not
quite, this novel is written almost like a reconstruction of
events. Characters' names are in effect redacted, with the
resulting use of job titles serving in some cases to emphasise how
individuals can hide behind their positions of authority and in
other cases how victims can lose their precious personalities.
