With all the qualities that P. D. James�s readers have come to expect: a masterly psychological and emotional richness of characterization, a vivid evocation of place and a credible and exciting mystery.When the notorious investigative journalist, Rhoda Gradwyn, books into Mr. Chandler-Powell�s private clinic in Dorset for the removal of a disfiguring, long-standing facial scar, she has every prospect of a successful operation by a distinguished surgeon, a week�s peaceful convalescence in one of Dorset�s most beautiful manor houses and the beginning of a new life. She will never leave Cheverell Manor alive. When Adam Dalgliesh and his team are called in to investigate the murder � and a second death occurs � even more complicated problems than the question of innocence or guilt arise.From the Hardcover edition.
