The school where Latin teacher Roy Straightley has worked for 30 years is going through not the best times. To fix the situation, they call in a crisis team. Straightley understands that without upheaval, it won’t be possible here: over the years, a great many skeletons have piled up in his closet, and one of them is the worst. Many years ago, a series of humiliations of schoolchildren ended with a mysterious, dark murder. One of the crisis managers—an ex-student of the school—can’t help knowing this story. Now Straightley has only one way out: unravel the mystery of the past, because for these crimes there is no statute of limitations.
