With no one as witness

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.

  • "Lynley, Havers, Nkata, Saint James et les autres sont sur le pied de guerre. Pour traquer un adversaire particulir̈ement redoutable : un meurtrier en sřie dont les cibles sont de jeunes mťis laissš-pour-compte. Est-ce pour cela que leur disparition est, dans un premier temps, passě inaperu̇e ? Toujours est-il que la police n'entame que tardivement les recherches. Consciente de l'ampleur de la tćhe, la hiřarchie de Scotland Yard convoque pour prt̊er main-forte ̉Lynley un psychologue form ̌au mťier de profileur. En outre, histoire de montrer que, au Yard, on n'a pas de prǰugš racistes, les confřences de presse du chef de la police se succd̈ent, auxquelles est instamment pri ̌d'assister le sergent noir Winston Nkata. Les jeunes victimes appartenant ̉des milieux df̌avorisš, le lecteur pňẗre dans le Londres stri ̌de suie et de graffitis des zones sensibles.Aux antipodes des quartiers cossus o ̮vivent Lynley et ses semblables... Elizabeth George brosse de ce dčor urbain un tableau d'une efficacit ̌impressionnante. Pour atteindre son objectif, elle n'hšite pas ̉multiplier les points de vue, permettant ainsi au lecteur d'apprȟender dans toute sa complexit ̌la psychologie de ces grands malades psychopathes et pďophiles qui hantent les nuits d'un Occident en mal de repr̈es."
  • "When the Metropolitan Police fail to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised racism is claimed by the community's activists and tabloids alike. Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, and his Scotland Yard task force is soon handling more killings and a looming tragedy.Elizabeth George brings to the familiar subject of the serial killer a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict its outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties."@en
  • "When an adolescent boy is found murdered under bizarre circumstances, New Scotland Yard acting superintendent Thomas Lynley and his colleagues tie the crime to a series of killings but find the case complicated by racial issues. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley takes on the case of his career. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley is back, along with his longtime partner, the fiery Barbara Havers, and newly promoted Detective Sergeant Winston Nkata. They are on the hunt for a sinister killer. When an adolescent boy's nude body is found mutilated and artfully arranged on the top of a tomb, it takes no large leap for the police to recognize this as the work of a serial killer. This is the fourth victim in three months but the first to be white. Hoping to avoid charges of institutionalized racism in its failure to pursue the earlier crimes to their conclusion, New Scotland Yard hands the case over to Lynley and his colleagues. The killer is a psychopath who does not intend to be stopped. Worse, a devastating tragedy within the police ranks causes them to fumble in their pursuit of him."@en

  • "Acting Supt. Thomas Lynley and Det. Constable Barbara Havers face their most challenging and perilous case yet--the linked murders of four youths, three of black or mixed parentage--in bestseller George's absorbing 13th British police procedural (after 2003's A Place of Hiding). Crime fans will find plenty of forensic minutiae and details of police bureaucracy and politics, but it's characterization at which George really excels. The up-and-down career of Havers is at low ebb following her demotion from sergeant to constable, and her rocky personal life doesn't make that easier to bear. Lynley's professional life has become more difficult due to the continued absence of Supt. Malcolm Webberly and the need to deal directly with Asst. Commissioner David Hillier. The tension builds as the brutal serial killings continue and the pressure to solve them mounts. George expertly uses every device in the book from red herrings to blind alleys, from subtle twists to swift shocks. This is an outstanding and explosive addition to a popular series."@en
  • "Ein Teenager wird tot auf einem Grabstein in London aufgefunden - alles scheint auf einen Ritualmord hinzuweisen. Als man Thomas Lynley und Barbara Havers von New Scotland Yard den Fall überträgt, ist soeben klar geworden, dass ein brutaler Serienmörder bereits sein viertes Opfer gefunden hat. Brisant ist, dass die ersten drei Opfer alle dunkler Hautfarbe waren."
