In Pursuit/Proper Sinner 12c Hc/Aud Flr (Hardcover)

Elizabeth George has been hailed as "an outstanding practitioner of the modern English mystery" and each of her previous nine novels has been an international bestseller. With "In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner", George once again explores the incendiary themes of passion, loyalty, and betrayal that have made her a master of the genre she has made so distinctly her own -- the classic detective story that is also a richly rewarding novel.

Two bodies are found by the dark circle of prehistoric stones known as Nine Sisters Henge in Derbyshire. Each met death in a different fashion. Each died violently. Did the two victims know one another?

Was there a link between them? And how exactly did each die? Detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers of New Scotland Yard soon learn that neither the victims -- nor the suspects in their murders -- are who they appear to be, and that the blood that binds can also kill.
