Description for DEATH IN HOLY ORDERS by P D James: On the East Anglican seacoast a small theological college hangs precariously on an eroding shoreline and an equally precarious fu ture. Then, the body of a student is found buried in the sand, and the boy's influential father demands that Scotland Yard investigate. Adam Dalgliesh, the son of a parson, once spent happy summers at the school. A detective who loves poetry, a man who has known loss and discovery, Dalgliesh is the perfect candidate to look for the truth in a remote, ratified community of the faithful--and the frightened. For when one death leads to another, Dalgliesh finds himself steeped in a world of good and evil, of stifled passions and hidden pasts, where someone has cause not just to commit one crime, but to begin an unholy order of murder. . . . This is #11 in An Adam Dalgleish Mystery. Show more
