Turbo AI Book Summaries

Mariana Andros, a group therapist raw with grief after her husband’s death, returns to Cambridge when her niece’s friend turns up murdered. She fixes on Edward Fosca, the magnetic Greek Tragedy professor who cultivates a secret circle of women known as the Maidens, and as more bodies fall, her suspicion sharpens into a consuming hunt. Fosca counters with flawless alibis while Mariana pushes through academic privilege, veiled rituals, and her own fractured memories.
