The "golden youth" of the private English university has taken a liking to Wolf's Graveyard for their pleasures. Here, one can freely smoke, drink, and seduce the local simpletons. The ringleader of the merry company is rightly considered to be the son of the vice-rector – Theo, who can get away with any mischief.
In the student theater production, Theo takes on a leading role. He is set to play Saint Sebastian, who, according to legend, was pierced by arrows on the cross. No one suspects that this role will turn out to be prophetic for the young man... One evening, as Theo's classmates Adam and his brother Max were passing through the graveyard, they suddenly heard a heartbreaking scream and saw a young dandy crucified on a cross.
The assumption that this was an act of revenge by the parents of one of the offended girls is not confirmed. So who killed the vice-rector's son? Adam and Max begin their own investigation and uncover the truth... at the edge of a dangerous steep cliff...
A novel in the best traditions of classic English detective fiction.
The bloody spectacle in the old graveyard shook the city. But no one knew what really lay behind this new Golgotha...
