ADAM DALGLIESH / ADAM DALGLIESH MYSTERIES Series

Un nuevo thriller con el inspector Adam Dalgliesh, infallible protagonista de las principales novelas de la gran dama de la novela negra.

Tras la muerte violenta de un forense, mientras trabaja en su laboratorio, Adam Dalgliesh —el detective, poeta y protagonista de las novelas más celebradas de P. D. James—debe hurgar en la intimidad de los científicos vinculados a la víctima por sus tareas, problemas, satisfacciones e incluso celos profesionales.

Todos son especialistas en el comportamiento de la muerte: gente preparada para hallar en un cadáver indicios sobre las causas del deceso, averiguar cuándo y cómo se produjo éste, y desenmascarar a un criminal con un microscopio o un tubo de ensayo. En este caso, sin embargo, el asesino podría encontrarse en el laboratorio mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In yet another page-turning installment in the bestselling Adam Dalgliesh mystery series from P.D. James, “the reigning mistress of murder” (Time), the Inspector must investigate the murder of a twisted forensic scientist and explore the dark secrets within his laboratory.

When a brilliant forensic scientist is found murdered in his own laboratory, Scotland Yard is called to the scene. The victim, a well-respected, authoritative member of the scientific community, was unpleasant to and greatly disliked by those who worked closest to him, leaving detectives with a wealth of suspects and murderous motives. P.D. James’ beloved detective Adam Dalgliesh is the one man who can sort through the lies, chasing down the truth to the book’s powerful climax.

P.D. James deftly weaves another tale of intrigue in Death Of an Expert Witness. Engaging and thrilling, she takes readers along with her troubled detective on a case rife with psychological thrills.

En casi todas las cosas, el hospital John Carpendar era un hospital modélico. Nada parecía enturbiar esta impresión… hasta que una enfermera aparece muerta en extrañas circunstancias, y una segunda aumenta la macabra lista al poco tiempo. El superintendente Adam Dalgliesh va a ser el encargado de encontrar las respuestas a las preguntas que se plantean.
