Book excerpt: When a Member of Parliament comes to New Scotland Yard demanding an investigation into a suicide, the Assistant Commissioner sees an opportunity to get rid of Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, whose career has been hanging by a thread for some time. Barbara is sent to the beautiful town of Ludlow to review the case, under the cold eye of Detective Chief Superintendent Isabelle Ardery, who more than shares the Commissioner's view of her. But Ardery has problems of her own and in her haste to return to London, she overlooks certain uncomfortable facts. So, soon the case is reopened, and this time it is Detective Inspector lynley who must accompany Havers to Ludlow, with little more than a week to save the Met's reputation and Barbara's job. And the more they investigate, the more it looks as if the suicide was part of a much more sinister pattern of events.
