Um corpo encontrado na praia, soterrado por um deslizamento de areia - eis o foco do mistério. O que teria acontecido ao jovem noviço do seminário Santo Anselmo, localizado numa das regiões mais desoladas da costa inglesa? Mais um desafio para o carismático detetive Adam Dalgliesh, de Scotland Yard, que em outras obras de P. D. James já exibiu seu brilhantismo para desvendar tramas complexas. Nesta, à primeira morte somam-se outras, além de intensos conflitos psicológicos, disputas por bens, incesto - motivos de toda ordem que, num ambiente tenebroso, quase gótico, fazem de cada personagem um suspeito. Contratado informalmente pelo pai da vítima para acompanhar as investigações oficiais, Dalgliesh não sabe que sua presença, longe de intimidar o assassino, talvez lhe alimente a ousadia.
The museum is dedicated to the years 1919-1939 and one of the galleries, the Murder Room, displays exhibits from the most notorious cases of those inter-war years.
