Description
Commander Adam Dalgliesh is drawn to Saint Anselm’s, an isolated Anglo-Catholic theological college on the windswept East Anglian coast, to revisit the troubling death of a student. When a visiting archdeacon is murdered, the quiet religious community becomes a closed circle of suspects, each burdened by private loyalties, rivalries, and secrets. As Dalgliesh and his team investigate, questions of faith, institutional survival, inheritance, and moral responsibility deepen the mystery. Combining a carefully constructed investigation with atmospheric setting and penetrating psychological characterization, the novel exemplifies P. D. James’s literary approach to crime fiction.
