What you need to know before your trail

At St Edmunds, an elite college on the outskirts of the city, twenty-year-old medical student Theo gets up one morning, leaving behind his sleeping girlfriend, Dani, and his studies – never to be seen again. With too many unanswered questions, Dani simply can’t accept Theo’s disappearance and reports him missing, even though no one else seems concerned, including Theo’s father.

Ten years later, Dani returns to the college as a history professor. With her mother suffering from severe dementia, and her past at St Edmunds still haunting her, she’s trying for a new start. But not all is as it seems behind the cloistered college walls – meanwhile, Dani is hiding secrets of her own.

Travel Guide

Dublin

Not located strictly in the city as St Edmund’s College is located just outside. Of course, it’s fictional as are the other places mentioned in the book. It’s just outside of Dublin in County Kildare – Rathtown.

It does give a nice background to the city and surrounding area however with the Dublin mountains mentioned and the wonderful scenery. It’s what happens inside that college that is the greatest mystery of all.
