When Professor Allan Grant is found stabbed to death, all the evidence points to an obsessed student, 21-year-old Laurie Kenyon.

They must ensure that her past remains buried at all costs, even if it means Bic has to carry out the murderous threat he made all those years ago to a terrified girl...
