Detectives Barbara Havers and Thomas Lynley return in A Slowly Dying Cause, the brand-new Lynley novel from Sunday Times 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 was 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 . . .

Someone is setting fires on Whidbey Island and Becca King and her friends may know who the arsonist is.

Sergeant Barbara Havers is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can’t really help—Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn’t on Hadiyyah’s, their daughter’s, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold. Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won’t get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands — at the risk of her own career. As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation. With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far she’s willing to go to protect it.

On Whidbey Island, secrets never stay buried. A mysterious girl who won't speak; a coal-black seal named Nera that returns to the same place every year; a bitter feud of unknown origin - strange things are happening on Whidbey Island and Becca King is drawn into the maelstrom of events. But Becca, first met in The Edge of Nowhere, has her own secrets to hide. Still on the run from her criminal stepfather, Becca is living in a secret location. Even Derric, the Ugandan orphan with whom Becca shares a close, romantic relationship, can't be allowed to know her whereabouts. As secrets of past and present are revealed, Becca becomes aware of her growing paranormal powers and events build to a shocking climax anticipated by no one. Acclaimed author Elizabeth George brings her extraordinary talents to this intriguing story that blends mystery and myth.

Elizabeth George führt ihre Leserinnen durch Sprüche 31 – eines der lehrreichsten Kapitel der Bibel über die in Gottes Augen bewundernswerte Frau. Die bekannte Autorin verdeutlicht auf ihre unnachahmliche Art, was bei Gott wahre Schönheit ist und zeigt, wie sein „Erfolgsplan“ im Alltag umgesetzt werden kann. So können Frauen auf geistreiche und praktische Weise lernen, wie jeder Tag ihres Lebens Frucht für Gott hervorbringt, und sie erkennen, welches Wohlgefallen Gott an einer Frau hat, die sich nicht nach dem Zeitgeist richtet, sondern nach dem Wort Gottes lebt. Das umfasst Bereiche wie Kraftschöpfen aus Gottes Quellen und Beziehungsgestaltung nach geistlichen Prinzipien, aber auch organisierte Zielstrebigkeit und effektives Alltagsmanagement. Die Leserinnen werden ermutigt, sich täglich daran zu erfreuen, welche Stellung sie als Erlöste in Christus haben und was sie erreichen können, wenn sie den von ihm gezeigten Weg der wahren Schönheit gehen. Anmerkung der Betanien-Redaktion: Sprüche 31 ist bemerkenswerterweise an einen Mann gerichtet (eine Unterweisung an den Königssohn Lemuel von seiner Mutter), was die Autorin auch richtig herausstellt. Daher sind diese Verse nicht als Gebote für Frauen zu verstehen und keine Frau macht sich schuldig, wenn sie nicht alle aufgezählten Leistungen vollbringt (was einer normalsterblichen Frau auch kaum möglich wäre).

In this novel Inspector Thomas Lynley is mystified when he's sent undercover to investigate the death of Ian Cresswell at the request of the man's uncle, the wealthy and influential Bernard Fairclough. The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trio's digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives. Deborah's investigation of the prime suspect, Bernard's prodigal son Nicholas, a recovering drug addict, leads her to Nicholas' wife, a woman with whom she feels a kinship, a woman as fiercely protective as she is beautiful. Lynley and Simon delve for information from the rest of the family, including the victim's bitter ex-wife and the man he left her for, and Bernard himself. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough family's veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to Tim, the troubled son Ian left behind

Obsáhlý detektivní román se zabývá vraždou dvou mladých lidí, nalezených na odlehlém místě anglického vřesoviště. Nicolu Maidenovou hledají již několik dní její rodiče i snoubenec, když je náhodně nalezena zavražděna v divokých opuštěných místech kraje. Spolu s ní i neznámý mladý muž. Detektiv Lynley a jeho kolegyně pátrají po příčinách jejich smrti. Autorka přichází s věrohodnými motivy u všech podezřelých a současně popisuje osobní život svých obdivuhodných hrdinů s podmanivou směsicí chytrosti, lehkosti a drzosti. Čím více temných tajemství Lynley a Haversová odhalují, tím je jim jasnější, že oběti ani podzřelí nejsou těmi, kým se zdáli být.

The shocking conclusion of Elizabeth George's previous bestseller, WITH NO ONE AS WITNESS, saw the wife of New Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley gunned down in the street outside her home. Under arrest for the crime is a twelve-year-old boy, Joel Campbell. What possible motive could he have? What chain of events could have led such a child from the housing estates of North Kensington to the elegant streets of Belgravia with such deadly intent? The answer to these questions is a complex mixture of fate and circumstance. Abandoned (albeit involuntarily) by his parents, Joel and two siblings are dumped on the doorstep of his aunt's house. Kendra, childless and with two marriages behind her, is doing her best to turn her life around; responsibility for three troubled children is not what she had in mind. Drugs, neglect, violence and poverty are commonplace in North Kensington. Joel does his best to look out for his family, but that involves a Faustian pact. And the Devil will have his pay.
