Curious Minds

Six years ago a retired professor hid a collection of rare, very valuable coins, and no one has managed to find it. The only way to reach the prize is by decoding passages from classic lesbian and sapphic novels, which draws a crowd of LGBTQ+ college students into the chase.

Maze Lister, a second-generation lesbian, has no plans to join. She has already read every one of the books, which fill her family's home library, and she doesn't need the money. A late night with the athlete Lys Neil changes her mind. The two bond over their neurodivergent minds, even though they manage their ADHD in very different ways.

Maze and Lys agree to compete together, but chance places them on rival teams. Their opponents are just as driven and just as willing to bend the rules. Secret alliances form, suspicions spread, and each of them learns more about themselves than they expected. Can they crack the clues and claim the prize before a ruthless classmate sets them against each other and takes the treasure for herself?
