| More Information |
| Details: |
The peaceful village of Monksmere on the Suffolk coast was Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh's retreat from the daily brutality he had to deal with at Scotland Yard. Then they discovered the mutilated body of crime-writer Maurice Seton, whose macabre murder was to spark off a wave of unparalleled horror. Although the post mortem showed that Seton died from natural causes, Dalgliesh had a different view and a host of suspects who had their own reasons for wanting him dead: his crippled secretary, a striptease artist, and his half-brother, and a vicious drama critic. Dalgliesh began to untangle the mass of lies and hatred which had Monksmere in its grip. |
