__________________________________________________________________________________
Where murder is concerned, fiction cannot compete with real life.

The Peverell Press is losing money. The two-hundred-year-old independent publisher is still housed in its dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames, but its ruthless new director, Gerard Etienne, wants to move to cheaper offices as part of his plan to save the company. Before he can push through any ambitious changes, though, he is found murdered, his body bizarrely desecrated.

Commander Adam Dalgliesh soon finds that the director had a host of dangerous enemies: a discarded mistress, a neglected and humiliated author, rebellious colleagues, disgruntled staff. But did any of them hate Gerard enough to kill him?

A spectacular combination of writing by P D James and narration by Daniel Weyman. Absolutely brilliant experience.. so vivid and rich.. the narrator did a phenomenal job of bringing this complex story to lifelike reality.. it’s like watching a film in the theatre.. strongly recommend to all P D James aficionados..

Unstoppable listening!
