P.D. James's latest novel combines all the elements we have come to expect: a vivid evocation of place, sensitive characterisation and a superbly structured plot. Adam Dalgliesh is sent to investigate a bizarre murder at a respite home on a small island off the Cornish coast, a case that requires a quick and discreet response. Paperback edition.
Publisher's description:
Combe Island off the Cornish coast has a bloodstained history of piracy and cruelty but now, privately owned, it offers respite to over-stressed men and women in positions of high authority who require privacy and guaranteed security. But the peace of Combe is vilated when one of the distinguished visitors is bizarrely murdered.
