Blue-blooded Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and acerbic sidekick Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers tackle high-class crimes and seedy underworlds with their signature blend of humor and intellect. Together they take on a series of often-brutal, often bewildering cases that send them across all strata of British society. Darkness meets the pair at every turn, but the pair are up to the task as they use their unique perspectives to solve even the most harrowing cases. Based on the best-selling novels by Elizabeth George.
