By Precept And Example — J. Bradley Burt

A serial rapist stalks high school students in a small Ontario town on Georgian Bay. The violence escalates when an honours student is killed during a sexual assault. Police step up their investigation, but are unable to make headway against a conspiracy of silence. Principal Maggie Keiller faces a fearful student body while coping with the crisis. Helping her is former principal Derek Sloan, whose niece is the latest victim. As their personal relationship grows in this hothouse environment, Maggie and Derek scramble to discover who they can count on, who is seeking to elude them, and who is violating the sacred charge of all teachers, to protect the students entrusted to their care. Finally, closing in on their quarry, Maggie and Derek discover they, too, are in danger from the deranged predator they are hunting. Contains adult language and mature themes.
