Synopsis
British police detective Adam Dalgliesh and his subordinates cope with various personal problems as they solve a politically sensitive mystery in the 13th entry in a bestselling series. Once a haven for pirates, Combe Island now serves as a private and extremely discreet locale for England’s power brokers in need of downtime. Three months before the Prime Minster plans to host a top-secret meeting on this small isle off the coast of Cornwall, the universally disliked author Nathan Oliver dies there under unusual circumstances. Hoping to determine as quickly as possible whether Oliver’s death was murder, suicide, or an accident, the authorities call in Commander Adam Dalgliesh and the Metropolitan Murder Squad.
