GEORGE ELIZABETH A SLOWLY DYING CAUSE

In Cornwall  a man suffers a violent death - and the killer may lurk within the community . . .
Featuring Detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers  A Slowly Dying Cause is an atmospheric 
gripping crime thriller from bestselling author Elizabeth George.   Amid the beauty of
Cornwall's coastline  the death of a local man shatters the peace with its violence. The body
of Michael Lobb is discovered in his family's tin and pewter workshop  and Detective Inspector
Beatrice Hannaford is brought in to investigate. Suspicion quickly develops when it emerges
that a mining company had been trying to buy the man's land  and Lobb was the only remaining
obstacle to the deal going through.  But every step of Bea's investigation provokes more
questions than answers  and the complexity of the case develops further as Lobb's family life 
rife with mistrust and deception  comes to light. With cryptic alibis and shifting motives  the
tangled web of intrigue soon draws in her colleagues Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers  who must
search for a killer in a community that has very little trust in outsiders . . .   ****    'She
