Publisher's Summary

'[P.D James had] huge humanity and she really took on social issues. Had she been alive today she'd have been a huge commentator in the culture wars debate.' Bertie Carvel, on playing Dalgliesh

An Adam Dalgliesh

Mystery Two men lie in a welter of blood in the vestry of St Matthew's Church, Paddington, their throats brutally slashed. One is Sir Paul Berowne, a baronet and recently resigned Minister of the Crown, the other an alcoholic vagrant. Dalgliesh and his team, set up to investigate crimes of particular sensitivity, are faced with a case of extraordinary complexity as they discover the Berowne family's veneer of prosperous gentility conceals ugly and dangerous secrets.

'P. D. James is a remarkable writer.' Ruth Rendell 'One of our greatest living crime writers.'Daily Express

Critic Reviews

"James still delivers the pace and tensions of a mystery yarn better than any living writer." ( The People)
"Her best and most ambitious tale to date.... The reigning mistress of murder.... A craftsman with a poet's vision, she not only detects evil but attempts to uncover the more elusive--and enduring--enigmas of the human psyche that lead to it." ( The Times)
