Inspector Lynley Series - Book 16

Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, on compassionate leave after his wife's murder, is called back to the Met when a young woman, Jemima Hastings, is found brutally stabbed in a London cemetery. Isabelle Ardery, acting superintendent with ambition and personal demons, seizes the case to solidify her authority—but immediately draws criticism from the department. Lynley agrees to return, and his team—especially Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata—join the investigation that leads them from London’s urban sprawl into the ancient New Forest, where hidden legacies cast long shadows. As dark secrets tied to violence and trauma across generations emerge, the investigation reveals a web of psychological and social complexities. The outcome is both emotionally devastating and tragically inevitable.
