But when a student is found ritualistically murdered on the campus of Hawthorne University-his body posed like a memory Knox can't forget-the past returns with surgical precision.\u003cbr\u003eAt the center of it all is Dr. Julian Voss: criminologist, theorist, and academic god. He lectures on the intimacy of violence with the calm of a surgeon and the charisma of a cult leader. His students adore him. One of them may have killed for him. And when Knox starts finding photos of himself in the crime scene archives, he realizes this isn't an investigation.\u003cbr\u003eIt's a performance.\u003cbr\u003eEach murder reenacts a lesson.
