Book Description:
The police never suspected a serial killer was at large until they found the fourth murdered boy -- the first white victim -- his body draped over a tomb in a London graveyard. Suddenly a series of crimes and a potential public relations disaster have Scotland Yard on the defensive, scrambling to apprehend a maniac while avoiding accusations of racism.
Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley, distracted by concerns for his pregnant wife, has been assigned to the investigation, along with his disgraced partner, Barbara Havers, who's fighting for her professional future. Winston Nkata -- deservedly, if hastily, promoted to detective sergeant -- is the black face who will speak to the media. But none of them can imagine the tenacity and ingenuity of the killer they seek . . . and no one is prepared for the savage, shocking instant when everything will change forever.

Thrilling and shocking! Taking the fantastic Inspector Lynley series to a whole new level. Friends have been endlessly talking about the very unexpected twist at the end, but I had to read it to believe it. Ms. George doesn't let up the pace for a moment. If this is your first read in the series, go back to the beginning and read every one. You won't be disappointed! They are all excellent. The TV versions are a poor comparison and don't do the books justice.

I picked this book up before a recent business trip because I'd seen the Inspector Lynley mysteries on PBS. The author writes a tight, gripping mystery and suspense novel that kept me "on the edge of my seat." The characters are intriguing and the story is well plotted. This is a must-read, especially for readers who enjoy fine crime novels.

I am a fan of mystery writer Elizabeth George. This book is a British mystery with Scotland Yard super sleuth and royaly born Thomas Lynley and his side kick,Sgt Havers. It is a great "who done it" that keeps you guessing up to the end.

I'm in love with Elizabeth George's characters and every book has something to offer. To a mystery reader she keeps each one fresh with excellent writing.

Really good, but really important to have read the other books in the series before you get to this one - that way you will be emotionally involved with the various recurring characters in the Inspector Lynley series. As usual, this is very well-written in the typical Elizabeth George style, however a little part of me hated this book at the end.

An excellent writer tells an excellent story - but her books are l-o-n-g. Nearly 800 pages. For that reason I usually avoid her books, but they are good to sit down with on a chilly evening by the fire.

Elizabeth George's aristocratic Scotland Yard detective Thomas Lynley and his working-class partner Barbara Havers go up against a serial killer -- a case which turns into a publicity nightmare when the police only figure out they're dealing with a serial killer after the fourth body is found. The fourth body -- but the first white victim...

I had thought I was about done with this series, then picked this up at an airport. I couldn't put it down. George is back to her good character driven plots.

One of the, if not the, longest of the series. It was breathtaking. One that I thought about for days after. The ending was totally unexpected, something I seldom say.

This book is set in England. At first the way they talk drove me nuts, but it turned out to be a really good story
THIS BOOK IS TO LONG AND HARD TO GET INTO IT TOOK ME 2 MONTHS TO READ IT. YOU HAVE TO LIKE LOTS OF PLAYERS AND LONG PLOTS but it really is good if you like this kind of reading
This is possibly the best of George's series about DS Lynley.
Classic Elizabeth George and Inspector Lynley. This is one book series I believe to be better than the PBS Mystery series.
This is about the hunt for a serial killer of young boys. A mystery and a physcological thriller. The characterizations are very well written. It's about the 13th in a series with the same investigators.
I couldn't put it down, and can't wait to read the next volume in the series.
Another absorbing Elizabeth George. Sad times for Thomas Lynley in this one.
