And theres only one place to find answers. As Cady struggles under the enormous pressure at Harvard she investigates her brothers final year armed only with a blue notebook of Erics cryptic scribblings. She knew he had been struggling with paranoia delusions and illusory enemiesbut what tipped him over the edge? With her suspicions mounting Cady herself begins to hear voices seemingly belonging to three ghosts who walked the universitys hallowed hallsor huddled in its slave quarters. Among them is a person whose name has been buried for centuries and another whose name mankind will never forget. Does she share Erics illness or is she tapping into something else? Cady doesnt know how or why these ghosts are contacting her but as she is drawn deeper into their worlds she believes theyre moving her closer to the truth about Eric even as keeping them secret isolates her further.
