P.D. James: The Black Tower

A desolate clifftop retreat is witness to a series of bizarre and inexplicable deaths...

The Black Tower is classic P.D. James- its secrets deepen with every episode; it surprises at every turn. James' gift for creating characters, for crafting intricate story detail and for keeping her audience guessing has made her fifteen novels international best-sellers.

Three mysterious murders. Two suspicious suicides. One deadly secret.

A reckless move in a drug raid leaves Commander Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard badly wounded and with time off. When he arrives to visit a friend at Toynton Grange, Dalgliesh thinks he's on vacation. Instead, a string of highly mysterious deaths catapult him dead-center into a maze of mystery, blackmail and murder. Suspects abound, but there is only one witness- the brooding black tower at the top of the cliff.

Roy Marsden is Dalgliesh, a smart detective with a poet's soul-observant, intelligent, intuitive and caught in a diabolical scheme that may threaten his life.
