Description
A brutal murder in a London cemetery draws Acting Detective Superintendent Isabelle Ardery into a complex investigation—and prompts her to call Thomas Lynley back to Scotland Yard. As the detectives pursue the killer of young Jemima Hastings, an unsettling account of a decades-old child’s murder reveals a second, seemingly unrelated mystery. Elizabeth George layers the case with red herrings, shifting suspicions, and richly drawn characters while exploring grief, violence, family secrets, and the burdens of justice. Atmospheric, intricately plotted, and psychologically acute, this gripping police procedural keeps both investigators and readers searching for the truth.
