Stevie Bell es una entusiasta fan de la investigación criminal. ¿Y qué mejor lugar para profundizar en sus conocimientos que la Academia Ellingham, el centro privado fundado en 1930 por el millonario excéntrico Albert Ellingham en las remotas montañas de Vermont? La prestigiosa y exclusiva academia, en la que solo se acepta a un reducido número de alumnos brillantes, fue la escena de un crimen que lleva décadas sin resolver y del que Stevie lo sabe casi todo.

¿Dónde buscas a alguien que en realidad nunca está? Siempre en una escalinata, pero nunca en la escalera... Los sugerentes acertijos que se ocultan tras los asesinatos de Ellingham siguen esperando que alguien sepa resolverlos, y Stevie sabe que está muy cerca.
