A Slowly Dying Cause

Descriere A Slowly Dying Cause

Amid the beauty of Cornwall’s coastline, the death of a local man shatters the peace with its violence. The body of Michael Lobb is discovered in his family’s tin and pewter workshop, and as Detective Inspector Beatrice Hannaford investigates, it emerges that Lobb was the only remaining obstacle preventing the purchase of local land by a mining company. The complexity of the case only increases as Lobb’s family life, rife with mistrust and deception, comes to light.

The tangled web of intrigue soon draws in Bea’s colleagues, Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers, who must search for a killer in a community that has very little trust in outsiders.
