About this book
Description
Leave The Grave Green
When a body is found floating in the Thames river lock one damp and dreary morning, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James are summoned from Scotland Yard to the Chiltern Hills outside London. The dead man is Connor Swann, son-in-law of London's most renowned opera personalities. And prints on his neck suggest that Swann was strangled.
As Duncan and Gemma explore the quiet woods above the Thames and the flamboyant world of London opera in search of answers, they discover a tangled web of family secrets and hidden emotions. And when Duncan finds himself dangerously drawn to a suspect, he and Gemma must sort out their complicated feelings for one another...
In A Dark House
A corpse, burned beyond recognition, has been uncovered in a vacant warehouse in Southwark...A young, beautiful hospital administrator has vanished without a trace, her past a mystery to even her closest friend...And across the City, within an old, dark, rambling house, a rigidly controlling, anonymous woman is holding ten-year-old Harriet hostage. While innocent lives hang in the balance, sinister truths unfurl and DS Duncan Kincaid and DI Gemma James must call upon all resources to work together on their most menacing case yet..."Deborah Crombie just keeps getting better and better. "In a Dark House" is utterly compelling" - Peter Robinson.
