A New York Times Bestselling Author
A Lynley Novel
Michael Lobb has just been found dead on the floor of his family's tin & pewter workshop. It's suspicious enough that his body was found by a representative of a company keen on acquiring his family's land, and it's made even worse when he's revealed to have been the sole obstacle preventing a deal. But Inspector Beatrice Hannaford unearths layers of estrangement that point suspicions elsewhere. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers are brought in to help solve the crime and search for justice in a community where lust, greed, and family traditions collide with devastating consequences.
