The Lighthouse

About “The Lighthouse”

Combe Island off the Cornish coast is a secure and secluded retreat for the rich and powerful. When a distinguished visitor is found hanging from the island’s famous lighthouse, the peace is shattered. Commander Adam Dalgliesh is called to investigate, but he is dealing with personal difficulties, including uncertainty about his relationship with his girlfriend, Emma Lavenham. His principle detective, Kate Miskin, is going through an emotional crisis, and Sergeant Francis Benton-Smith is unhappy with having a female boss. After a second brutal killing, the investigation faces serious challenges, and Dalgliesh must confront a danger more insidious than murder.
