With No One as Witness by Elizabeth George
A new Lynley and Havers novel of psychological suspense from the bestselling author of A Place of Hiding. When the Metropolitan Police fail to realize a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalized racism is claimed by the community's activists and tabloids alike. Acting Superintendent Thomas Lynley is given the case, and his Scotland Yard task force is soon handling more killings and a looming tragedy.
"'Their most challenging and perilous case yet.. absorbing... plenty of forensic minutiae... but it's characterisation at which George really excels. George expertly uses every device in the book from red herrings to blind alleys, from subtle twists to swift shocks. An outstanding and explosive addition to a popular series.' - Publishers Weekly Praise for A Place of Hiding: 'Tantalising characters and a rich plot make this superb.' - Good Book Guide 'This exquisitely plotted mystery bursts with well-developed characters... With her flair for language, George reinforces her reputation as one of today's finest mystery writers.' - Publishers Weekly 'excellent holiday reading from one of the queens of the traditional detective story.' - Sainsbury's Magazine"
