Truant. Drunk. Sexually deviant. And that’s just the English teacher…
It’s the last day of term at the Gilda Ball Academy, and time is running out. Running out for Martin, the English teacher, who hasn’t noticed his marriage crumbling and his health deteriorating. And for Béla, who’s been plotting revenge since Martin had him expelled, after an incident that left the school’s Deputy Head dead.
When Martin is confronted with an anonymous note accusing him of abuse, he naturally assumes it came from Béla.
The truth, as he will discover, is never quite that simple.

This clever generic hybrid is an addictive blend, reminiscent of the TV series Teachers mixed with detective noir.
