A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'There are some things,' Chief Inspector Wexford said, 'which cannot be forgiven. You know what pleases you, but do you know what would disgust you?'

The discovery of Elizabeth Nightingale's broken body in the woods near her home could not have come as a bigger shock. Called in to investigate, Chief Inspector Wexford quickly determines that the Nightingales were considered the perfect couple - wealthy, attractive and without an enemy in the world.

However, someone must have been alone with Elizabeth that night in the woods. Someone who hated - or perhaps loved - her enough to beat her to death.

The case seems straightforward. But Wexford soon learns that beneath the placid surface of the Nightingales' lives lie undercurrents and secrets no one ever suspected.

'The inspiration never seems to flag and the quality of the craftsmanship remains as high as ever' Sunday Telegraph
