(Deborah and Simon St. James have taken a holiday in the w...)
Deborah and Simon St. James have taken a holiday in the winter landscape of Lancastershire, hoping to heal the growing rift in their marriage. But in the barren countryside awaits bleak news: The vicar of Wimslough, the man they had come to see, is dead—a victim of accidental poisoning. Unsatisfied with the inquest ruling and unsettled by the close association between the investigating constable and the woman who served the deadly meal, Simon calls in his old friend Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley. Together they uncover dark, complex relationships in this rural village, relationships that bring men and women together with a passion, with grief, or with the intention to kill. Peeling away layer after layer of personal history to reveal the torment of a fugitive spirit, Missing Joseph is award-winning author Elizabeth George's greatest achievement. From the Paperback edition.

Was als fröhliches Verlobungswochenende von Lynley mit der Fotografin Deborah im Freundes- und Familienkreis auf Howenstow, dem feudalen Stammsitz der Ashertons, geplant war, entpuppt sich nach und nach als Alptraum. Im nahe gelegenen Dorf wird ein junger Journalist bestialisch ermordet - und alle Spuren führen nach Howenstow, zum gräflichen Verwalter zu Lynleys Gästen, ja sogar zu seinem eigenen Bruder. Auf der Suche nach dem Täter verfangen sich Lynley und St. James mit jedem Schritt mehr in einem schmerzhaften Netz aus lange unterdrückten Feindseligkeiten, nicht eingestandenen Schuldgefühlen und scheinheiliger Moral

(En los ultimos tres meses, ya son cuatro los cuerpos de j...)
En los ultimos tres meses, ya son cuatro los cuerpos de jovenes que la policia de Londres ha encontrado brutalmente mutilados, tras ser secuestrados y agredidos sexualmente. Ninguna de las tres primeras victimas -chicos negros- ha podido ser identificada y New Scotland Yard ni siquiera habia establecido relacion entre las muertes hasta la aparicion del ultimo cadaver, un adolescente blanco intencionadamente dispuesto encima de una tumba. Ahora se sospecha que un asesino en serie esta detras de ellas. El caso cae en manos del comisario Thomas Lynley y su equipo. La investigacion los conducira a Coloso, una organizacion benefica que se dedica a la reinsercion de jovenes problematicos y marginales, y de la que podrian salir las victimas del asesino en serie. Sin embargo, parece que Coloso esconde algo mas que buenas intenciones y Lynley no solo debera lidiar con un complicado caso sino con la prensa y la opinion publica que no dudan en tildar a la policia de racista, ya que la mayoria de los chicos a los que Coloso ayuda son de raza negra. Con su trama criminal llena de recovecos y giros y con su penetrante analisis de las luces y sombras que caracterizan a los distintos personajes, Sin testigos mantiene despierta la atencion de todo buen amante de los thrillers y nos transporta a un universo tan perturbador y atrayente como el de El silencio de los corderos. / The police never suspected a serial killer was at large until they found the fourth murdered boy -- the first white victim -- his body draped over a tomb in a London graveyard. Suddenly a series of crimes and a potential public relations disaster have Scotland Yard on the defensive, scrambling to apprehend a maniac while avoiding accusations of racism. Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley, distracted by concerns for his pregnant wife, has been assigned to the investigation, along with his disgraced partner, Barbara Havers, who's fighting for her professional future. Winston Nkata -- deservedly, if hastily, promoted to detective sergeant -- is the black face who will speak to the media. But none of them can imagine the tenacity and ingenuity of the killer they seek and no one is prepared for the savage, shocking instant when everything will change forever.

"The story begins with my father, actually, and the fact that I'm the one who's answerable for his death. It was not my first crime, as you will see, but it is the one my mother couldn't forgive." In her astonishing New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author Elizabeth George reveals the even darker truth behind this startling confession. Playing for the Ashes is a rich tale of passion, murder and love in which Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers once again find themselves embroiled in a case where nothing—and no one—is really what it seems. Intense, suspenseful and brilliantly written, Playing for the Ashes will make readers "search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures...a treasure," as Cosmopolitan predicted in their review.

Balford-le-Nez is a dying seaside town on the coast of Essex. But when a member of the town's small but growing Asian community is found murdered near its beach, the sleepy town ignites. Intrigued by the involvement of her London neighbor-Taymullah Azhar-in what appears to be a growing racial conflagration, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers arranges to have herself assigned to the investigation. Setting out on her own, this is one case Havers will have to solve without her longtime partner, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley-and it's one of the toughest she's ever encountered. For Havers must probe not only the mind of a murderer and her emotional response to a case unsettlingly close to her own heart, but also the terrible price people pay for deceiving others . . . and themselves.

The career of playwright Joy Sinclair comes to an abrupt end on an isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands when someone drives an eighteen-inch dirk through her neck. Called upon to investigate the case in a country where they have virtually no authority, aristocratic Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, grapple for both a motive and a murderer. Emotions run deep in this highly charged drama, for the list of suspects soon includes Britain’s foremost actress, its most successful theatrical producer, and the woman Lynley loves. He and Havers must tread carefully through the complicated terrain of human relationships while they work to solve a case rooted in the darkest corners of the past and the unexplored regions of the human heart.

When thirteen-year-old Matthew Whately goes missing from Bredgar Chambers, a prestigious public school in the heart of West Sussex, aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley receives a call for help from the lad's housemaster, who also happens to be an old school chum. Thus, the inspector, his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, and forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James find themselves once again outside their jurisdiction and deeply involved in the search for a child—and then, tragically, for a child killer. Questioning prefects, teachers, and pupils closest to the dead boy, Lynley and Havers sense that something extraordinarily evil is going on behind Bredgar Chambers's cloistered walls. But as they begin to unlock the secrets of this closed society, the investigation into Matthew's death leads them perilously close to their own emotional wounds—and blinds them to the signs of another murder in the making....

Award-winning author Elizabeth George gives us an early glimpse into the lives of Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, forensic scientist Simon Allcourt-St. James, and Lady Helen Clyde in a superlative mystery that is also a fascinating inquiry into the crimes of the heart. Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton, has brought to Howenstow, his family home, the young woman he has asked to be his bride. But the savage murder of a local journalist is the catalyst for a lethal series of events that shatters the calm of a picturesque Cornwall village and embroils Lynley and St. James in a case far outside their jurisdiction-and a little too close to home. When a second death follows closely on the heels of the first, Lynley finds he can't help taking the investigation personally-because the evidence points to a killer within his own family.

When the Metropolitan Police fail to realise a serial killer is at work, London ignites over the fact that the killer's victims are young black and mixed race boys. Institutionalised 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. Elizabeth George brings to the familiar subject of the serial killer a freshness and clarity of vision that provide illuminating insight into the psychological complexity of the tortured criminal mind. She does so within a richly textured, thrillingly suspenseful narrative that defies any reader to predict its outcome. Nor does she neglect our favourite characters, whose private lives provide an engrossing counterpoint to their professional duties.

He found the body on the forty-third day of his walk . . . Devastated by the senseless murder of his wife, Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley retreated to Cornwall, where he has spent six solitary weeks hiking the bleak and rugged coastline. But no matter how far he walks, the painful memories do not diminish. Then, at the base of a cliff near a town better known for its surfing than its intrigue, Lynley discovers the body of a young man who has fallen to his death. First a witness, then a suspect when the hand of a killer is revealed, Lynley remains, above all, a policeman willing to aid the gruff head of an understaffed local constabulary in her investigation. But the secrets in this community run dark and deep—and Lynley must somehow find a way to let go of the past long enough to solve a most devious and dreadful crime.

Elena Weaver was a surprise to anyone meeting her for the first time. In her clingy dresses and dangling earrings she exuded a sexuality at odds with the innocence projected by the unicorn posters on her walls. While her embittered mother fretted about her welfare from her home in London, in Cambridge—where Elena was a student at St. Stephen's College—her father and his second wife each had their own very different image of the girl. As for Elena, she lived a life of casual and intense physical and emotional relationships, with scores to settle and goals to achieve--until someone, lying in wait along the route she ran every morning, bludgeoned her to death. Unwilling to turn the killing over to the local police, the university calls in New Scotland Yard. Thus, Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, enter the rarefied world of Cambridge University, where academic gowns often hide murderous intentions. For both officers, the true identity of Elena Weaver proves elusive. Each relationship the girl left behind casts new light both on Elena and on those people who appeared to know her best—from an unsavory Swedish-born Shakespearean professor to the brooding head of the Deaf Students Union. What's more, Elena's father, a Cambridge professor under consideration for a prestigious post, is a man with his own dark secrets. While his past sins make him neurotically dedicated to Elena and blind to her blacker side, present demons drive him toward betrayal. From the Paperback edition.

To this day, the low, thin wail of an infant can be heard in Keldale's lush green valleys. Three hundred years ago, as legend goes, the frightened Yorkshire villagers smothered a crying babe in Keldale Abbey, where they'd hidden to escape the ravages of Cromwell's raiders. Now into Keldale's pastoral web of old houses and older secrets comes Scotland Yard Inspector Thomas Lynley, the eighth earl of Asherton. Along with the redoubtable Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, Lynley has been sent to solve a savage murder that has stunned the peaceful countryside. For fat, unlovely Roberta Teys has been found in her best dress, an axe in her lap, seated in the old stone barn beside her father's headless corpse. Her first and last words were "I did it. And I'm not sorry." Yet as Lynley and Havers wind their way through Keldale's dark labyrinth of secret scandals and appalling crimes, they uncover a shattering series of revelations that will reverberate through this tranquil English valley—and in their own lives as well.

In den schottischen Highlands herrscht tiefster Winter, und Westerbrae, ein Country-House wie aus dem Bilderbuch, ist von der Welt abgeschnitten - ideale Voraussetzung für eine prominente Londoner Theatergruppe, um ungestört ein neues Stück zu proben. Doch schon am ersten Morgen wird aus den Proben tödlicher Ernst: Joy Sinclair, die junge Autorin, wurde kaltblütig erdolcht. Und die Ortspolizei weigert sich, die Untersuchungen zu übernehmen. Ein Fall für Inspector Lynley von New Scotland Yard, stammen doch fast alle Beteiligten aus den ihm wohlvertrauten, besten Kreisen der englischen Gesellschaft. Aber er findet nur Fragen ohne Antworten, unausgesprochene Geheimnisse und Halbwahrheiten. Zum ersten Mal gerät Lynley mit den Prinzipien in Konflikt, die für ihn selbst die Welt bedeuten: den festgefügten Regeln der Oberschicht, der Tradition, Stolz und Familienbande mehr bedeuten als ein Menschenleben. Immer tiefer gerät er in ein Labyrinth aus zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen, die weit in die Vergangenheit und hinauf in höchste Regierungskreise reichen. Doch die bittere Wahrheit hinter der blutigen Scharade entdeckt erst seine Assistentin, der Adel, Konventionen und Privilegien von Haus aus zutiefst suspekt sind.

Am umjubelten Premierenabend seines neuen Musicals »Hamlet« nimmt sich der erfolgreiche Komponist und Produzent David King-Ryder scheinbar grundlos das Leben. Und in einem Moor in Derbyshire macht eine Spaziergängerin einen grausigen Fund: Ein Mann liegt, entstellt von Brand- und Stichwunden, an einer verwüsteten Campingstelle. Nicht weit davon entfernt finden die örtliche Polizei und Thomas Lynley von Scotland Yard die Leiche von Nicola Maiden. Zwischen diesen drei Menschen lässt sich keine nachweisbare Verbindung herstellen. Eine harte Nuss für Inspector Lynley und und Sergeant Havers – zumal die Zusammenarbeit der beiden an einem seidenen Faden hängt. Havers, die wegen einer Befehlsmissachtung vorübergehend suspendiert und später degradiert wurde, zweifelt an der Loyalität Lynleys und stürzt in eine schwere berufliche und menschliche Krise. Lynley hingegen bedrückt die Tatsache, dass es sich bei der Ermordeten im Moor um die Tochter eines ehemaligen Polizeikollegen handelt. Lynley und Havers gehen verschiedenen Spuren nach, können aber nicht umhin festzustellen, dass all ihre Theorien gravierende Lücken aufweisen. Letztendlich sind es die unkonventionellen Methoden von Barbara Havers, die einen Mörder ans Tageslicht befördern – und mehr als einen Schuldigen …
