A Banquet of Consequences

Book Description

The seventeenth novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley

The suicide of William Goldacre is devastating to those left behind. But what was the cause of his tragedy and how far might the consequences reach? And why is there a link between the young man's death and an horrific poisoning in Cambridge?

Following various career-threatening misdemeanours, DS Barbara Havers is desperate to redeem herself. So when a past encounter with bestselling feminist writer Claire Abbott gives her a connection to the Cambridge murder, she begs DI Thomas Lynley to let her pursue the crime.

Soon, Lynley finds himself investigating the London end of an ever more darkly disturbing case, while Havers looks behind the peaceful facade of country life to discover a twisted world of desire and deceit - and no shortage of suspects.
