Original Sin

Author: P.d. James
Description:
The literary world is shaken when a murder takes place at the Peverell Press, a long-established publishing house located in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The victim is Gerard Etienne, the brilliant new managing director whose ruthless ambition had made him many enemies: discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author and rebellious colleagues. Commander Adam Dalgliesh and his team are confronted with a puzzle of extraordinary complexity and a killer who is prepared to strike again.
