Description
When two student nurses are murdered at a secluded training hospital in rural England, Chief Inspector Adam Dalgliesh is drawn into a closed world where discipline and professional respectability conceal rivalries, resentments, and private desperation. As he investigates, the apparent harmony of the nursing school begins to fracture, revealing secrets among students, instructors, and staff. Combining an intricately constructed mystery with a penetrating study of institutional life and human character, the novel explores power, repression, ambition, and the fragile veneer of civility.
