Gentlemen and Players

In this compelling multi-layered novel by New York Times bestselling author Joanne Harris, the traditional ambiance of St. Oswald’s School for Boys is disrupted as Roy Straitley, the long-standing classics teacher, faces a challenging 99th term. With the introduction of five new faculty members—including one with dark ties to the school's past and a hidden agenda to destroy it—the atmosphere turns increasingly menacing as seemingly minor disruptions escalate into life-threatening situations. As the school descends into chaos, Straitley becomes the last line of defense against a meticulously planned scheme that threatens to unravel the very fabric of St. Oswald's.
