IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ENEMY - ELIZABETH GEORGE...

The eighth novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley   As the editor of a
popular tabloid  'King of Sleaze' Dennis Luxford has made a career out of scandal. But the
tables turn when he receives a ransom letter concerning his illegitimate daughter.  To save the
life of his child  Luxford must expose the girl's mother - Eve Bowen  now Under Secretary of
State for the Home Office. Convinced that Charlotte's disappearance is just one more shabby
tabloid ploy  Eve refuses to involve the police.  Only when events take an unbearable turn is
New Scotland Yard brought in  in the guise of Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner  Barbara
Havers. And as their investigations move from Westminster to Wiltshire  Lynley and Havers
discover that treachery and betrayal lie perilously close to home.   Praise for In the Presence

story is gripping from start to finish'   Daily Mail    'George is a superb purveyor of fear 
malevolent atmosphere and warped minds . . . So cleverly does she manage the narrative threads
so convincingly do her characters behave on the edge of their emotions  so startling are the
twists to her tale that I could have read more'   The Times    'A superb novel with a twist in
the tale worthy of Agatha Christie'   Daily Express    'A highly astute psychological thriller
. . . It has more twists and turns than a mountain road'   OK
