A perfectly-plotted, 'deeply shocking' (Daily Mail) novel in the iconic, bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley
'So much more than just a detective novel' Reader review
'The unexpected twists are formidable!' Reader review
'Kept me on the hook right to the end' Reader review
'The washing up remained unstacked and dust settled as I could not put this down until I knew the end' Reader review
'One of the finest wordsmiths I have read' Reader review
When the body of England's leading batsman, Kenneth Fleming, is discovered in the burnt-out shell of a country cottage, it looks like a clear-cut case of arson.
Further investigation, however, reveals an almost embarrassing multitude of suspects for murder: from Fleming's lover to his son, nearly everyone in contact with Fleming seems to have a motive - and an opportunity.
Inspector Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, are called in from Scotland Yard to help the local police force. What awaits them is a torment of twisted familial relationships and broken dreams - and as Lynley seeks to bring the murderer to justice, he must bear the weight of his own conscience.
