Publisher's Summary
Adam Dalgliesh takes on a baffling murder in the rarefied world of London book publishing in this masterful mystery from one of our finest novelists.
Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of impenetrable complexity. A murder has taken place in the offices of the Peverell Press, a venerable London publishing house located in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The victim is Gerard Etienne, the brilliant but ruthless new managing director, who had vowed to restore the firm's fortunes. Etienne was clearly a man with enemies - a discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author, and rebellious colleagues, one of who apparently killed herself a short time earlier. Yet Etienne's death, which occurred under bizarre circumstances, is for Dalgliesh only the beginning of the mystery, as he desperately pursues the search for a killer prepared to strike and strike again.

P.D. James is magnificent.
These stories are intricate , imaginative and detailed. When it all comes together it is satisfying like a wonderful meal.

if it weren't for the narrator
I had been so looking forward to the PD James novels - one of the reasons I got Audible. But the narrator is so terrible! All the whiney women's voices. I made my way through this because I bought it but really, Penelope Dellaporta has spoiled this whole Audible series and I won;t be able to listen.
