About this ebook
Detectives Barbara Havers and Thomas Lynley return in A Slowly Dying Cause, the brand-new Lynley novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Elizabeth George.
Amid the beauty of Cornwall's coastline, the death of a local man shatters the peace with its violence. The body of Michael Lobb was discovered in his family's tin and pewter workshop and Detective Inspector Beatrice Hannaford is brought in to investigate. Suspicion quickly develops when it emerges that a mining company had been trying to buy the man’s land and Lobb was the only remaining obstacle to the deal going through.
But every step of Bea's investigation provokes more questions than answers and the complexity of the case develops further as Lobb’s family life, rife with mistrust and deception, comes to light. With cryptic alibis and shifting motives, the tangled web of intrigue soon draws in her colleagues Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers, who must search for a killer in a community that has very little trust in outsiders . . .
