364pp. Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard investigates the brutal stabbing of criminal lawyer Venetia Aldridge within her chambers in London's Middle Temple. Aldridge has just skillfully defended Gary Ashe on a murder charge against his aunt. However, in reprieve, the very creepy former defendant seeks out and seduces with the lawyer's daughter. Is he the murderer? Or is it one of Aldridge's jealous colleagues? Publisher's Weekly says, "themes of obsession, neglect, revenge and ambition fuel this emotionally powerful puzzler." Classic P.D. James, as made immensely popular by actor Roy Marsden's portrayal of Dalgliesh, in the 1998 British miniseries treatment. Condition: Near Fine in like dustjacket.
