Description:
When Scotland Yard Commander Adam Dalgliesh takes up residence in a cottage left to him by an eccentric aunt, he wants nothing more than to escape. But on his lonely stretch of coastline, a serial killer has been murdering local women, and when the administrator of the controversial nuclear power station is found dead, she is assumed to be his latest victim. But Dalgliesh suspects otherwise, and he reluctantly involves himself in the increasingly complicated case. He soon discovers that more than one killer is involved, and must race to unravel the tangled web of truth before another victim is claimed. This acclaimed adaptation of P.D. James' bestselling novel is personally endorsed by "the Queen of Crime" herself.

A great purchase, which with re-viewing only enhances the ... Read More

It helps to have veteran British actor Roy Marsden returning as James' character, Scotland Yard's Commander Adam Dalgliesh. Dalgliesh ... Read More
