Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers and Detective Inspector Thomas
Lynley are back in the next Lynley novel from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Elizabeth George.
When a police detective is taken off life support after falling into a
coma, only an autopsy reveals the murderous act that precipitated her
death. She'd been working on a special task force within North London's
Nigerian community, and Acting Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley is
assigned to the case, which has far-reaching cultural associations that
have nothing to do with life as he knows it. In his pursuit of a killer
determined to remain hidden, he's assisted by Detective Sergeants
Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata. They must sort through the lies and
the secret lives of people whose superficial cooperation masks the
damage they do to one another.
