Rent Payment in Blood

Synopsis

New Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers must solve the gristly murder of playwright Joy Sinclair on a lonely estate in the Scottish Highlands. A fractious crew of actors involved in their own private battles traveled to the Westerbrae estate for a sequestered reading, only to become suspects in a complex investigation rife with intrigue. Lynley's aristocratic background comes strongly into play, much to Havers's chagrin, and the intense jealousy of his good friend Lady Helen Clyde's love affair threatens to derail the case. This is the second book in bestselling mystery writer Elizabeth George's series about this fascinating partnership, following the highly praised series opener A GREAT DELIVERANCE.
