Description
When a Nigerian-born detective sergeant is murdered in London, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers are drawn into a deeply divided community where family loyalty, cultural tradition, and fear collide. At the heart of the investigation is a household ruled by violence, where a teenage boy risks everything to protect his young sister from female genital mutilation. As the police pursue the truth, they encounter activists, medical professionals, community leaders, and others whose conflicting beliefs reveal the complexity surrounding a devastating and deeply hidden practice. Combining a gripping murder investigation with a compassionate examination of abuse, identity, cultural obligation, and moral courage, this is a powerful and intricately layered entry in the Lynley series.
