      About This Book

      Their throats slit, the two men have turned the old vestry of St. Matthew's church red with blooed. In death united, in life no men could have been more disparate: onea Baronet and Minister of the Crown; the other and alcholic derelict. Commander Adam Dalgliesh believes that a single thread connects the two lives, one that will lead him to the killer. Instead, he soon finds himself following a tangled skein of lofty emotions and base ambitions into Britain's enigmatic upper class ... and into a labyrinth of ever widening scandal and murder without end...
