Playing for the Ashes

"In actuality, the tale starts with my father and the realization that I have responsibility for his passing.As you can see, it wasn't my first transgression, but my mother couldn't forgive it."

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.  Reading Playing for the Ashes will compel readers to "search out the sleuthing pair's first six adventures...a treasure," as Cosmopolitan noted in their review. It is intense, thrilling, and masterfully written.
