Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley and Sergeant Barbara Havers attempt to find out who tortured and then murdered a gifted young student in the churchyard of an exclusive boys' prep school. Reprint. - Random House, Inc.
âThe Lynley books constitute the smartest, most gratifyingly complex and impassioned mystery series now being published.ââEntertainment WeeklyÂ
When thirteen-year-old Matthew Whately goes missing from Bredgar Chambers, a prestigious public school in the heart of West Sussex, aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley receives a call for help from the ladâs housemaster, who also happens to be an old school chum. Thus, the inspector, his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James find themselves once again outside their jurisdiction and deeply involved in the search for a childâand then, tragically, for a child killer. Questioning prefects, teachers, and pupils closest to the dead boy, Lynley and Havers sense that something extraordinarily evil is going on behind Bredgar Chambersâs cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthewâs death leads them perilously close to their own emotional woundsâand blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making. . . .
