Synopsis of Xeque ao rei

En St. Oswald, una selecta escuela secundaria masculina en el norte de Inglaterra, el nuevo año escolar comienza con vientos de cambio que amenazan las tradiciones de la institución. Roy Straitley, un veterano profesor de latín, se siente desplazado por las nuevas tecnologías y valores, mientras una sombra mucho más oscura se cierne sobre el colegio. Un rencor alimentado durante trece años está a punto de estallar a través de una serie de bromas crueles que se vuelven cada vez más violentas. Esta intrigante novela de Joanne Harris explora cómo un antiguo escándalo medio olvidado puede convertirse en la pieza clave para derribar a una institución gigante. La historia combina el misterio con una profunda crítica a las rivalidades académicas y las crisis cotidianas, manteniendo al lector en vilo sobre la identidad del misterioso saboteador.
