For generations, elite young men have attended St. Oswald’s School for Boys, groomed for success by the likes of Roy Straitley, the eccentric classics teacher who has been a revered fixture for more than 30 years. Contemplating retirement, he is joined this term by five new faculty members, including one who–unknown to Straitley and everyone else–holds intimate and dangerous knowledge or St. Oswald’s ways and secrets. Harboring dark ties to the school’s past, this young teacher has arrived with one terrible goal: destroy St. Oswald’s. Told in alternating voices, Gentlemen & Players is a riveting, hypnotically atmospheric novel of suspense that showcases Joanne Harris’s astonishing storytelling talent.
