Publisher's Synopsis
Six CDs, running time 7hrs 9mins, read by Michael Jayston. Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh had been looking forward to a quiet holiday in his aunt's cottage on Monksmere Head, one of the furthest flung spots on the remote Suffolk coast. With nothing to do other than enjoying long wind-swept walks, tea in front of the crackling wood fire and hot buttered toast, he was relishing the thought of a well-earned break. However, all hope of peace was soon shattered by murder. The mutilated body of a local crime writer, Maurice Seaton, floats ashore in a drifting dinghy and drags Adam Dalgliesh into a new and macabre investigation.
