500    Originally published in German as Der Club by Kein & Aber 
       AG in 2017. 
520    "The Club is a blistering, timely, and gripping novel set 
       at Cambridge University, centering around an all-male 
       dining club for the most privileged and wealthy young men 
       at Cambridge and following an outsider who exposes the 
       dark secrets of this group, the Pitt Club. As a boy, Hans 
       Stichler enjoys a fable-like childhood among the rolling 
       hills and forests of North Germany, living an idyll that 
       seems uninterruptable. A visit from Hans's ailing English 
       aunt Alex, who comes to stay for an entire summer, has a 
       profound effect on the young Hans, all the more so when 
       she invites him to come to university at Cambridge, where 
       she teaches art history. Alex will ensure his application 
       to St. John's College is accepted, but in return he must 
       help her investigate an elite university club of young 
       aristocrats and wealthy social climbers, the Pitt Club. 
       The club has existed at Cambridge for centuries, its long 
       legacy of tradition and privilege largely unquestioned. As
       Hans makes his best efforts to prove club material and 
       infiltrate its ranks, including testing his mettle in the 
       boxing ring, he is drawn into a world of extravagance, 
       debauchery, and macho solidarity. And when he falls in 
       love with fellow student Charlotte, he sees a potential 
       new life of upper-class sophistication opening up to him. 
       But there are secrets in the club's history, as well as in
       its present--and Hans soon finds himself in the inner 
       sanctum of what proves to be an increasingly dangerous 
       institution, forced to grapple with the notion that 
       sometimes one must do wrong to do right"--|cProvided by
