Review this book!
In a small, sleepy seaside town on the coast of Essex, a member of the growing Asian community is found dead, creating murmurs of a racially motivated crime. On her own, with DCI Lynley on his honeymoon, Sergeant Barbara Havers has secretly followed her neighbor, Taymullah Azhar, to the sea, because he appears to be involved--and then she becomes a part of the case herself. Havers must use all of her tact to probe a crime that has the entire town on edge, contending with not only half-hidden racism in every corner but the extremely difficult, obnoxious behavior of the self-styled Asian community leader, Muhannad Malik. This is the ninth mystery novel in bestselling author Elizabeth George's Detective Thomas Lynley series.

Publisher Notes
Balford-le-Nez is a dying seatown on the coast of Essex. But when a member of the town's small but growing Asian community, is found dead on its beach, his neck broken, sleepy Balford-le-Nez ignites. Working solo, without her long-time partner Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, Sergeant Barbara Havers must probe not only the mind of a murderer and a case very close to her own heart, but the terrible price people pay for deceiving others...and themselves.
Media Reviews
"...[I]n the end, with mystery upon mystery unraveling before or eyes, George still dazzles us with her sleight of hand, gains our respect for her willingness to take chances and makes us look forward to the book that will follow."
