Produktbeschreibung
A hugely complex and entertaining novel - Star Pick*, The Times Crime Club
Elizabeth George delivers another intelligent, intricate mystery - New York Times
Superlative . . . This is a memorable addition to [the Inspector Lynley] series - Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review)
--
When Tani hears his domineering father is negotiating for him to marry a girl in Nigeria, he is determined to defy him. But can he protect his little sister from something much worse
DS Lynley, meanwhile, is investigating the death of a fellow police officer with DSs Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata. The mystery will lead them to the detective's family and relationships, the complex layers of love, ambition, lies and self-deception by those closest to her.
It will also lead them to the cases she was investigating for the special task force where she worked. Within North London's Nigerian community, Lynley encounters a world that is far from his experience, and a shockingly controversial cultural practice, which not everyone involved considers to be a crime.
Told across a stifling London summer, from housing estates to Hampstead squares, street markets to Chelsea townhouses, Something to Hide will constantly wrongfoot the reader's expectations in a powerful drama of murder, betrayal, heartwrenching suspense and - even in the darkest places - hope.
