Death in Holy Orders: An Adam Dalgliesh Mystery by James Pd
From the award-winning master of literary crime fiction, a classic work rich in tense drama and psychological insight. On the East Anglian seacoast, a small theological college hangs precariously on an eroding shoreline and an equally precarious future. When the body of a student is found buried in the sand, the boy's influential father demands that Scotland Yard investigate. Enter Adam Dalgliesh, a detective who loves poetry, a man who has known loss and discovery. The son of a parson, and having spent many happy boyhood summers at the school, Dalgliesh is the perfect candidate to look for the truth in this remote, rarified community of the faithful-and the frightened. And when one death leads to another, Dalgliesh finds himself steeped in a world of good and evil, of stifled passions and hidden pasts, where someone has cause not just to commit one crime but to begin an unholy order of murder. . . . Gracefully sculpted prose and a] superbly executed mystery . . . Death in Holy Orders is among James's] most remarkable and accomplished Dalgliesh novels.-The Philadelphia Inquirer An elegant work about hope, death, and the alternately redemptive and destructive nature of love.
