When it comes to spellbinding suspense and page-turning
excitement, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth
George always delivers. As the Wall Street Journal
raves, "Ms. George can do it all, with style to spare."
In With No One as Witness, Elizabeth George has crafted an
intricate, meticulously researched, and absorbing story
sure to enthrall her readers. 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.
