Who deserves punishment

The 20th case for Inspector Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers. The citizens of the English town of Ludlow are deeply shocked when the local deacon is accused and arrested for a serious crime. Shortly thereafter, he is found dead in police custody. On behalf of Scotland Yard, Sergeant Barbara Havers attempts to shed light on the mysterious incidents. At first, everything indeed points to the suicide of a desperate man – but Barbara and DI Thomas Lynley do not trust this version of events.
