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.

Quotes

  • Александра Лебедеваhas quoted7 years ago
    “The devil of young people,” Jago said, “is that they got to be allowed to take their own decisions, mate.”
    “But—”
    “Hear me out. It’s part of making their way to being grown. They take a decision, they make a mistake, and if no one rushes like the fire brigade to save them from the outcome, they learn from the whole experience. ’Tisn’t the job of the dad—or the granddad or the mum or the gran—to keep them from learning what they got to learn, mate. What they got to do is help work out the end of the story.”
