The Professor of Eventide

Perfect for readers of The Secret History and The Historian. An atmospheric literary mystery that explores the thin line between intellectual obsession, the weight of the eternal, and the madness brought on by centuries of memories.

At Eventide College, the past is never buried—it is exhaled through the ivy and etched into the stone.

Professor Jonathan Ferrars lives in the shadows of academia, a man tethered to a history he cannot outrun. After he arrives at Eventide College, the sanctity of the autumn term is shattered when three of his students are found murdered in a manner that feels less like a crime and more like a ritual.

As the police circle and the college’s halls begin to close in, Jonathan realizes the deaths are part of a meticulously crafted plan—one designed to make him the centerpiece of its tragedy. To preserve his sanity and his freedom, Jonathan must untangle the rot at the heart of Eventide College before the darkness he’s spent a lifetime outlasting finally claims him.

A story of isolation, the seduction of narrative, and the predatory nature of history. The Professor of Eventide is a haunting meditation on what happens when the ghosts we carry are as alive as we are.
