Description

Prize-winning author Elizabeth George presents us an earlier peek into the lifestyles of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a mystery that's also an amazing inquiry into the crimes of one's heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has delivered to Howenstow, his home, the young lady he's requested to become his bride. However the savage killing of an area reporter may be the driver to get a series of activities that shatters the calm of the attractive Cornwall town and embroils Saint and Lynley.
