But the peace of Combe is violated when  one of the distinguished visitors is bizarrely murdered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Commander Adam Dalgliesh  is called in to solve the mystery quickly and discreetly, but at a difficult time  for him and his depleted team. Dalgliesh is uncertain about his future with Emma  Lavenham, the woman he loves; Detective Inspector Kate Miskin has her own emotional  problems; and the ambitious Sergeant Francis Benton-Smith is worried about working  under Kate. Hardly has the team begun to unravel the complicated motives of the suspects  than there is a second brutal killing, and the whole investigation is jeopardized  when Dalgliesh is faced with a danger more insidious and as potentially fatal as  murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eP.
