The first in the series of scintillating mysteries to feature cunning
Scotland Yard detective, Adam Dalgliesh from P.D. James, the bestselling
author hailed by People magazine as "the greatest living mystery
writer."
Sally Jupp was a sly and sensuous young woman who used her body and her
brains to make her way up the social ladder. Now she lies across her bed
with dark bruises from a strangler's fingers forever marring her
lily-white throat. Someone has decided that the wages of sin should be
death...and it is up to Chief Inspector Adam Dalgliesh to find who that
someone is.
Cover Her Face is P.D. James' delightful debut novel, an ingeniously
plotted mystery that immediately placed her among the masters of
suspense.
