Le cercle secret

At an exclusive California prep school, four young girls form a bond that will

endure over two decades -- a bond built on secrets, scandal and murder . . . a

bond about to be broken.

Mattie, a federal judge . . . Breeze, a wealthy entrepreneur . . . and Jane,

the first lady of the United States, have all enjoyed a meteoric rise to

success since their days at the Rowe Academy for Girls. But now the truth

behind the suicide of their friend Ivy and the murder of their headmistress

twenty years ago is no longer safely hidden.

The man imprisoned for the murder has been exonerated, and a true crime

reporter is relentlessly pursuing a loose thread in the decades-old cover-up,

one that threatens to unravel the women's pact of silence. But none of them

anticipated the twisted depths of the secrets about to be exposed -- or how

the truth could shatter all their lives.
