Klappentext

The ninth novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley

Two bodies - the corpses of a young man and woman - are discovered in the middle of a prehistoric stone circle in Derbyshire. Each met death in a different fashion. Each died violently.

Inspector Lynley is asked to lead the investigation into the deaths, where he soon learns that one of the victims is the daughter of his former mentor, a retired undercover police officer. Meanwhile, a disgraced Barbara Havers frantically tries to assist in identifying the other body.

As these two strands of the investigation collide, Lynley and Havers must face the murderous reality of human relationships once again, and realise that the ties that bind can also kill.
