poisoning in Cambridge?
After various issues with her department, Barbara Havers is desperate to
redeem herself. So when a past encounter gives her a connection to the
unsolved Cambridge murder, Barbara begs Thomas Lynley to let her pursue
the crime, knowing one mistake could mean the end of her career.
Full of shocks, intensity, and suspense from the first page to the last,
A Banquet of Consequences reveals both Lynley and Havers under
mounting pressure to solve a case both complicated and deeply
disturbing.
