The Peverell Press, a two-hundred-year-old
publishing firm housed in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames, is
certainly ripe for change. But the proposals of its ruthlessly ambitious new
managing director, Gerard Etienne, have made him dangerous enemies – a
discarded mistress, a neglected and humiliated author, and rebellious
colleagues and staff. When Gerard’s body is discovered bizarrely desecrated,
there is no shortage of suspects and Dalgliesh and his team are confronted
with a puzzle of extraordinary complexity and a murderer who is prepared to
strike again.
