Description: Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley has been called to investigate the deaths of Nicola Maiden, daughter of Lynley's former mentor, and London artist Terry Cole, who found near the Nine Sister Henge, a stone circle on Calder Moor. At first there doesn't seem to be a connection between Nicola and Terry, but before long, the investigation reveals that Nicola was a prostitute and Terry was her "card boy," distributing ads for her services. Lynley's sidekick in this investigation is Winston Nkata. Barbara Havers is in disgrace after events in George's previous novel, Deception on his Mind. However, Nkata asks Barbara to do the legwork in London, which she attacks with zeal. Illustrated endpapers.
