"Pulls you into the depths of a secret world from the first page. Ian Smithâs novel is unmissable." âHarlan Coben, author of Missing You Spencer Collins thinks his life at Harvard will be all about basketball and pre-med; hard workouts and grinding work in class. The friends heâs made when he hits the storied ivy-clad campus from a very different life in urban Chicago are a happy bonus. But Spencer is about to be introduced to the most mysterious inner sanctum of the inner sanctum: to his surprise, heâs in the running to be âpunchedâ for one of Harvardâs elite final clubs. The Delphic Club is known as âthe Gasâ for its crest of three gas-lit flames, and as Spencer is considered for membership, heâs plunged not only into the secret world of male privilege that the Gas represents, but also into a century-old club mystery. Because at the heart of the Delphic, secured deep inside its guarded mansion club, is another secret society: a shadowy group of powerful men known as The Ancient Nine. Who are The Ancient Nine? And why is Spencerâalong with his best friend Dalton Winthropâsummoned to the deathbed of Daltonâs uncle just as Spencer is being punched for the club? What does the lore about a missing page from one of Harvardâs most historic books mean? And how does it connect to religion, murder, and to the King James Bible, if not to King James himself? The Ancient Nine is both a coming of age novel and a swiftly plotted story that lets readers into the ultimate of closed worlds with all of its dark historical secrets and unyielding power.
