__________________________________________________________________________________
He thought of Combe as a place of violent emotions – of danger.

Combe Island, off the Cornish coast, is a restful retreat for the rich and powerful – until one of its distinguished visitors is murdered, and the peace of the island is shattered.

Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called in to solve the mystery quickly and discreetly, but at a difficult time for him and his depleted team. No sooner have they begun to unravel the complicated motives of the suspects when there is a second brutal killing.

But there is another danger just as insidious and potentially as fatal as murder on the island, which puts Dalgliesh at even greater risk . . .
