A secure and secluded retreat for the rich and powerful becomes the setting for an  unsettling series of murders. Combe Island off the Cornish coast is a restful haven  for the elite. But when one of its distinguished visitors is found hanging from the  island’s famous lighthouse in what appears to have been a murder, the peace is shattered.  Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called in to handle the sensitive case, but at a difficult  time for him and his depleted team. He is uncertain about his future with his girlfriend  Emma Lavenham; his principle detective Kate Miskin is going through an emotional  crisis; and the ambitious Sergeant Francis Benton-Smith is not happy about having  a female boss. After a second brutal killing, the whole investigation is jeopardized,  and Dalgliesh is faced with a danger even more insidious than murder.
