Denn bitter ist der Tod

Inspector Lynley's fifth case in a new edition. On a dreary November morning, a student from the University of Cambridge is found dead. The murder of the young woman shakes the respectable academic world. Only someone like Inspector Lynley, who knows this environment well, can sense the dangerous undercurrents behind the dark college walls. Together with his assistant Barbara Havers, he delves deeper into the elite world, uncovering a deadly web of unconditional love, false pride, unacknowledged guilt, and a thirst for revenge.
