by Elizabeth George
Balford-le-Nez is a dying seatown on the coast of Essex.
But when a member of the town's small but growing Asian community is found dead near its beach, his neck broken, sleepy Balford-le-Nez ignites. And working solo, without her long-time partner Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, Sergeant Barbara Havers must probe not only the mind of a murderer and a case very close to her own heart, but the terrible price people pay for deceiving others...and themselves.
"The sheer thrust of Elizabeth George's storytelling drive lifts her big, unwieldy narratives over the kind of road traps that would cause more subtle stylists to crash and burn.... even at her most mechanical, George knows how to tell a story." —The New York Times Book Review
