In einem idyllischen Cottage in Kent findet der Milchmann eines Morgens statt der eigentlichen Mieterin eine männliche Leiche vor. Der Vorfall wird noch rätselhafter, als die Ortspolizei den Toten identifiziert: Es ist Kenneth Fleming, Englands gefeierter Cricket-Champion. Bald stellt sich heraus, dass alle Menschen in Flemings Umfeld ein Motiv gehabt hätten, aber sie alle haben auch ein Alibi. Erst als Inspector Thomas Lynley seinen Job, ja sogar sein Leben riskiert, scheint es, als hätten selbst Mörder ein Gewissen.

VORHANG AUF FÜR EINEN MÖRDER. Zusammen mit Assistentin Barbara Havers soll Inspector Lynley die dunklen Machenschaften um die Ermordung einer jungen Londoner Theaterautorin aufklären. Seine Nachforschungen bringen Lynley zum ersten Mal mit den Prinzipien in Konflikt, die für ihn die Welt bedeuten: den festgefügten Regeln jener englischen Oberschicht, für die Tradition, Stolz und Familienbande wichtiger sind als ein Menschenleben.

Et teaterselskab fra London indlogerer sig på et koldt gods i Skotland for at blive præsenteret for deres nye og temmelig kontroversielle stykke. Næste morgen bliver stykkets forfatterinde, Joy Sinclair, fundet myrdet i sin seng, naglet til madrassen med en kniv gennem halsen. Scotland Yard sætter kriminalassistent Thomas Lynley og overbetjent Barbara Havers på opklaringsarbejdet med ordre om at holde sagen ude af pressen så længe som muligt.

In einem kleinen Dorf in Yorkshire geschieht ein brutaler Mord: In einer Scheune entdeckt der Dorfpfarrer die enthauptete Leiche William Teys'. Neben dem Toten kauert Roberta, seine leicht debile Tochter. Sie behauptet: "Ich war's." Und verstummt. Scotland Yard schickt Inspector Thomas Lynley und Sergeant Barbara Havers. Die beiden arbeiten zum ersten Mal zusammen und sind ein eher ungewöhnliches Team. Doch der Fall lässt ihnen keine Eingewöhnungszeit.

Wer die Hoffnung verkauft, spielt dem Tod in die Hände... Was als fröhliches Verlobungswochenende von Inspector Lynley und der Fotografin Deborah Cotter auf Howenstow, dem feudalen Stammsitz von Lynleys Familie geplant war, entpuppt sich nach und nach als Alptraum. Im nahegelegenen Dorf wird ein junger Journalist bestialisch ermordet - und alle Spuren führen nach Howenstow.

"Alla fine, tutto sembra ricondursi al denaro", riflette lapidario Thomas Lynley di fronte all'indagine che lo ha portato in Cumbria, un incarico strettamente confidenziale affidatogli da Sir David Hillier. A chiamare in causa Scotland Yard è Bernard Fairclough, baronetto di recente nomina e ricco industriale, convinto che la morte per annegamento di suo nipote Ian, archiviata dal coroner come accidentale, sia stata in realtà un omicidio. Affiancato da Deborah e Simon St. James, che lo seguono in incognito, Lynley si ritrova a frugare tra gli scheletri nell'armadio di molte.

Thomas Lynley torna a indagare affiancato dalla sua collega Barbara Havers e da Winston Nkata, da poco promosso detective, e il caso che devono affrontare richiederà tutte le loro abilità deduttive. Per le strade di Londra si muove un sinistro assassino. Sulla sua strada ha lasciato il corpo nudo e mutilato di un giovane adolescente e una serie di macabri indizi lasciano pensare all'opera di un serial killer. Lynley scopre presto che l'assassino ha già colpito altre tre volte, senza che la polizia sia arrivata a collegare i casi o a dare loro importanza.

Enkä kadu”, sanoo parhaimpiinsa pukeutunut Roberta Teys isänsä päättömän ruumiin äärellä. Yorkshiressa sijaitsevan rauhallisen Keldalen kylän asukkaat ovat järkyttyneitä. Onko Roberta murhaaja? Ainakaan kylä pappi, isä Hart, ei usko hänen syyllisyyteensä.

Calderin nummelta muinaisen kivikehän varjosta löydetään miehen ja naisen ruumiit. Molemmat ovat kuolleet väkivaltaisesti, vaikkakin eri tavoin. Naisuhri tunnistetaan Nicola Maideniksi. Hänen isänsä Andy Maiden työskenteli aikoinaan keskusrikospoliisin salaisimmassa yksikössä ja on rikoskomisario Thomas Lynleyn entinen kollega ja oppi-isä.

Essexissä pakistanilaisen miehen kuolema kuohuttaa hiljaisen Balford-le-Nezin asukkaat hereille. Rapistuneessa lomakaupungissa se on ensimmäinen "epäilyttävä kuolemantapaus" yli viiteen vuoteen. Uhri on pienen mutta voimistuvan aasialaisyhteisön jäsen Haytham Querashi, jonka ruumis löydetään rannalta sodanaikaisesta bunkkerista.

A Nigerian-born detective sergeant working for the Metropolitan Police is found unconscious in her own flat and ends up in hospital, where she dies of her injury. The post-mortem reveals that the subdural hematoma is the result of a blow to her head.
