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.

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.

Winston Nkata, deservedly, if hastily, promoted to detective sergeant, is the black face who will speak to the media. But none of them can imagine the tenacity and ingenuity of the killer they seek . . . and no one is prepared for the savage, shocking instant when everything will change forever.

When a Member of Parliament comes to New Scotland Yard demanding an investigation into a suicide, the Assistant Commissioner sees an opportunity to get rid of Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, whose career has been hanging by a thread for some time. Barbara is sent to the beautiful town of Ludlow to review the case, under the cold eye of Detective Chief Superintendent Isabelle Ardery, who more than shares the Commissioner's view of her. But Ardery has problems of her own and in her haste to return to London, she overlooks certain uncomfortable facts. So, soon the case is reopened, and this time it is Detective Inspector lynley who must accompany Havers to Ludlow, with little more than a week to save the Met's reputation and Barbara's job. And the more they investigate, the more it looks as if the suicide was part of a much more sinister pattern of events.

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).
