Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Punishment She Deserves Elizabeth George delivers another masterpiece of suspense in her Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story that tests Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers as never before.
Barbara is at a loss: Hadiyyah, the daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar, has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can’t really help. Azhar has no legal claim.
Just when Azhar is beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss, he gets more shocking news: Hadiyyah has been kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. 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.

Ms George does it again!
5By Web the debLots of details and twists aplentyJust One Evil Act
1By Dude the ObscureEvery Lynley book has been worse than the one before, and this one is absolutely awful. The so-called mystery is trivial and uninteresting, even more so than before. While that may be OK since that is not really the strength of George, the characters have now become parodies of themselves. Hopefully this is will really be the end of the Lynley’s series. Too bad George did not have enough sense to stick to her words the first time she said she would stop writing the series.Good, but hard to believe
5By Frederika2Deeply involving, and engaging, but somewhat flawed by pretty unbelievable plot. I won't give away the story, but If Havers had gone any further off the reservation, she'd wound up on mars.Just One Evil Act
4By Zoology23A great read as usual, loved the convoluted ending, BUT, and there always is one. Would have appreciated definitions of the Italian words, would that be so hard to do?Just One Evil Act
5By MacSallyI thoroughly enjoyed this book! Since I have read every book in the Inspector Lynley series, I was waiting for this one to be released. The twists and turns were exciting. The characters were exceptional. I would love more of Salvatore LoBianco and I like Daidre as well.Just One Evil Deed
5By ChayalayaElizabeth George does it again. Once you start her books - nothing gets done because you can't put book down. A wonderful story - some familiar characters - some new ones - many twists and turns. I hope Ms George is well on her way with her next book. Can't wait.Just One Evil Act
5By Biker babe4UI could not wait to get my hands on the newest book from my favorite author. This one, by far, is the best Elizabeth George had written! Now I have to try to wait patiently off the next novel! Thank you, Elizabeth George, for writing a terrific piece of entertainment!
