Description
When a celebrated playwright is found murdered at a remote Scottish manor, Inspector Thomas Lynley and Sergeant Barbara Havers are called in to investigate a tightly knit theatrical company whose members all have secrets to protect. As the inquiry probes rivalries, resentments, and complicated personal histories, suspicion spreads through the isolated household. Set against the stark beauty of the Highlands, this atmospheric mystery explores ambition, betrayal, class tensions, and the dangerous consequences of buried grievances.
