The
place is St Oswald's, an old and long-established boys' grammar
school in the north of England. A new year has just begun, and
for the staff and boys of the school, a wind of unwelcome change
is blowing. Suits, paperwork and Information Technology rule the
world and Roy Straitley, Latin master, eccentric, and veteran of
St Oswald's, is finally - reluctantly - contemplating
retirement. But beneath the little rivalries, petty disputes and
everyday crises of the school, a darker undercurrent stirs. And
a bitter grudge, hidden and carefully nurtured for thirteen
years, is about to erupt. Who is Mole, the mysterious insider,
whose cruel practical jokes are gradually escalating towards
violence - and perhaps, murder? And how can an old and
half-forgotten scandal become the stone that brings down a giant.
