Careless in Red
Author(s): Elizabeth George
It is barely three months since the murder of his wife and Thomas Lynley takes to the South-West Coast Path in Cornwall, determined to walk its length in an attempt to distract himself from his loss. On the forty-third day of this walk, he sees a cliff climber fall to his death, apparently witnessed by a surfer in a nearby cove. Shortly afterwards, Lynley encounters a young woman from Bristol whose personal history is a blank before her thirteenth year. These events propel him into a case that brings Barbara Havers from London and thrusts both detectives into a world where revenge is only one of the motives they must sift through to identify a killer.
Product Information
'George is one of the best crime novelists around -- there's a richness and psychological depth to her work which lifts it well above genre fluff.' -- Time Out 'Her account of surfers' lives, with their terrifying techniques and almost religious passion is worth reading.' -- Jessica Mann, Literary Review
