Book Information
In her new book, The Murder Room, Commander Adam Dalgliesh,
P. D. James’s formidable and fascinating detective, returns to
find himself enmeshed in a terrifying story of passion and mystery
-- and in love.
The Dupayne, a small private museum in London devoted to the
interwar years 1919 -- 1939, is in turmoil. As its trustees argue
over whether it should be closed, one of them is brutally and
mysteriously murdered. Yet even as Commander Dalgliesh and his
team proceed with their investigation, a second corpse is discovered.
Someone in the Dupayne is prepared to kill and kill again. Still
more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes
of the past featured in one of the museum’s galleries: the Murder
Room. |
 |
| The case is fraught with danger and
complications from the outset, but for Dalgliesh the complications
are unexpectedly profound. His new relationship with Emma Lavenham
-- introduced in the last Dalgliesh novel, Death in Holy Orders --
is at a critical stage. Now, as he moves closer and closer to a
solution to the puzzle, he finds himself driven further and further
from commitment to the woman he loves. |
