Toronto, ON: Knopf Canada, 2001. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; large personal gift inscription to previous owner on title page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; The setting is the bleak coast of East Anglia. On the shore not far away, smothered beneath a fall of sand, lies the body of one of St. Anselm's young ordinands. Although there seems to be little to investigate, Dalgliesh agrees. No sooner does he arrive, however, than the college is torn apart by a sacrilegious and horrifying murder, and Dalglliesh finds himself ineluctably drawn into the labyrinth of an intricate and violent mystery.
