The seventh novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC''s Lynley
When the body of England''s leading batsman, Kenneth Fleming, is discovered in the burnt-out shell of a country cottage, it looks like a clear-cut case of arson.
Further investigation, however, reveals an almost embarrassing multitude of suspects for murder: from Fleming''s lover to his son, nearly everyone in contact with Fleming seems to have a motive - and an opportunity.
Inspector Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, are called in from Scotland Yard to help the local police force. What awaits them is a torment of twisted familial relationships and broken dreams - and as Lynley seeks to bring the murderer to justice, he must bear the weight of his own conscience.
