NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Part of the bestselling mystery series
that inspired Dalgliesh on Acorn TV
When distinguished criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge defends a young man
for the brutal murder of his mother, she views the case as simply
another opportunity to demonstrate her brilliance in the courtroom. But
within weeks of the trial Aldridge is found dead at her desk, a
bloodstained barrister's wig on her head. And as Commander Adam
Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard attempts to make sense of events, the murders
continue, inexorably spiraling into fresh complexities of horror.
