The Skull Beneath the Skin
O książce
From P.D. James, one of the masters of British crime fiction comes the second novel to feature the famous female detective Cordelia Gray of the Pryde Detective Agency. Set on the sinister Courcy Island,
An Unsuitable Job for a Woman is a thrilling murder mystery.
Clarissa Lisle hopes to make a spectacular comeback in a production of
The Duchess of Malfi, to be played in Ambrose Gorringe's sinister castle at Courcy Island. Cordelia is there to ensure her safety following the appearance of a number of poison-pen letters. But it soon becomes clear that all are in danger. Trapped within the walls of the Gothic castle, the treacherous past of the island re-emerges, and everyone seems to have a motive for sending Clarissa 'down, down to hell'.
Marking the return of the private detective Cordelia Gray,
The Skull beneath the Skin is the sequel to
An Unsuitable Job for a Woman. P.D. James is Britain's pre-eminent crime writer and the author of many bestselling titles including
Death Comes To Pemberley,
Children of Men and
Death in Holy Orders.
