Everyone at Saint Orpheus University agrees on three things: 1. Elias Mercer is dead.2. Elias Mercer was murdered.3. Elias Mercer is currently attending lectures. The administration insists this is not a contradiction.Wendy Gazab thought the Evil School of Evil was bad enough. Then she got transferred to a university where death is treated like a paperwork dispute, reality changes by committee vote, and the murder investigation keeps getting revised retroactively.Now Wendy and the dangerously intelligent Francesco are trapped inside an institution that can edit truth faster than detectives can uncover it.Every clue rewrites the crime.Every witness remembers a different version.And somewhere deep beneath Saint Orpheus, something is feeding on consensus itself.Murder mysteries are supposed to end when you find the killer.This one starts there.
