Mystery
New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George is back
with a spellbinding tale of mystery and murder featuring
Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley. On
compassionate leave after the murder of his wife, Thomas
Lynley is called back to Scotland Yard when the body of a
woman is found stabbed and abandoned in an isolated London
cemetery. His former team doesn't trust the leadership of
their new department chief, Isabelle Ardery, whose
management style seems to rub everyone the wrong way. In
fact, Lynley may be the sole person who can see beneath his
superior officer's hard-as-nails exterior to a hidden-and
possibly attractive-vulnerability. While Lynley works in
London, his former colleagues Barbara Havers and Winston
Nkata follow the murder trail south to the New Forest. There
they discover a beautiful and strange place where animals
roam free, the long-lost art of thatching is very much
alive, and outsiders are not entirely welcome. What they
don't know is that more than one dark secret lurks among the
trees, and that their investigation will lead them to an
outcome that is both tragic and shocking. A multilayered
jigsaw puzzle of a story skillfully structured to keep
readers guessing until the very end, This Body of Death is a
magnificent achievement from a writer at the peak of her powers.
