Description:
An untimely death brings him to the East Anglian coast, where, atop a sweep of cliffs, sits the small theological college of St. Anselm's. At the base of these cliffs, buried in sand, lies the body of one of the school's young ordinands. He is the son of Sir Alred Treeves, a hugely successful and flamboyant businessman who invariably gets what he wants. And he wants Dalgliesh to investigate his son's death. Dalgliesh doubts that there is much to investigate, but he agrees -- mostly out of a desire to revisit a place where he spent several happy summers as a youth. No sooner does he arrive, than he finds himself inextricably drawn into the labyrinth of a violent mystery.
Expand description
Here is the classic detective story elevated by P. D. James to a brilliantly realized novel -- gripping as much for its extraordinary psychological and emotional richness and the complexity of its characters as for the suspense and horror at its heart. And here, once again, is proof that P. D. James is not only a master of the detective novel but also, simply, one of the finest novelists at work today.
