When Michelle misses her bus home, the only available option is to ask her English tutor, Gordon Stackpole, for a lift. He is about to refuse when the grey skies spill their payload of rain upon them both, and Michelle follows Gordon's order to shelter in his car. Drenched by the rain, Michelle realises she has put herself into a dangerous position, but are things always what they seem? As hallucinations and insanity take hold, will Michelle maintain her grip on reality, or should she be afraid of what Gordon may be planning?

A tale of misunderstanding, illness and death, Late Student is the newest title from Mark MJ Green, author of Abortus and Birdsong.
