Inspector Lynley 1: Payment in Blood

A blue-blooded detective, red-blooded passion and cold-blooded murder.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries feature the most celebrated British detective duo in years: Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker, Far from the Madding Crowd) and Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sharon Small, About A Boy). Over the course of more than 10 intriguing Elizabeth George novels, beginning with A Great Deliverance, Lynley and Havers have won millions of loyal fans. It's no mystery why.

Decidedly upper crust detective Lynley and his partner Havers endure a marriage made at police headquarters. Lynley is suave, sophisticated, and the eighth Earl of Asherton. Havers in rumpled, resentful, and working class - with an inborn dislike of the highborn. Despite their differences, the sleuths evolve into a potent team, employing their cunning, intuition, and street smarts to unravel some of the most heinous - and suspenseful - crimes.
