  • "In den schottischen Highlands herrscht tiefster Winter, und Westerbrae, ein Country-House wie aus dem Bilderbuch, ist von der Welt abgeschnitten - ideale Voraussetzung für eine prominente Londoner Theatergruppe, um ungestört ein neues Stück zu proben. Doch schon am ersten Morgen wird aus den Proben tödlicher Ernst: Joy Sinclair, die junge Autorin, wurde kaltblütig erdolcht. Und die Ortspolizei weigert sich, die Untersuchungen zu übernehmen. Ein Fall für Inspector Lynley von New Scotland Yard, stammen doch fast alle Beteiligten aus den ihm wohlvertrauten, besten Kreisen der englischen Gesellschaft. Aber er findet nur Fragen ohne Antworten, unausgesprochene Geheimnisse und Halbwahrheiten. Zum ersten Mal gerät Lynley mit den Prinzipien in Konflikt, die für ihn selbst die Welt bedeuten: den festgefügten Regeln der Oberschicht, der Tradition, Stolz und Familienbande mehr bedeuten als ein Menschenleben. Immer tiefer gerät er in ein Labyrinth aus zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, die weit in die Vergangenheit und hinauf in höchste Regierungskreise reichen. Doch die bittere Wahrheit hinter der blutigen Scharade entdeckt erst seine Assistentin, der Adel, Konventionen und Privilegien von Haus aus zutiefst suspekt sind. Akribische Recherche, präziser Spannungsaufbau und höchste psychologische Raffinesse zeichnen die Bücher der Amerikanerin Elizabeth George aus. Ihre Fälle sind stets detailgenaue Porträts unserer Zeit und Gesellschaft. Elizabeth George, die lange an der Universität "Creative Writing" lehrte, lebt heute auf Whidbey Island im Bundesstaat Washington, USA. Ihre Bücher sind allesamt internationale Bestseller, die sofort nach Erscheinen nicht nur die Spitzenplätze der deutschen Verkaufscharts erklimmen. Ihre Lynley-Havers-Romane wurden von der BBC verfilmt und auch im deutschen Fernsehen mit grossem Erfolg ausgestrahlt."
