Første gang, Thomas Lynley og overbetjent Barbara Havers fra Scotland Yard arbejder sammen, er på mordsagen om den halshuggede mand i laden. Det er ikke en sag for sarte sjæle. Da Cromwells soldater for trehundrede år siden tromlede gennem Keldale Valley i Yorkshire, søgte hele landsbyen tilflugt i Keldale kloster. Og sagnet fortæller, at et barn begyndte at skrige, og at landsbyboerne kvalte det af frygt for at blive opdaget. Nu er dalen atter hjemsøgt af et brutalt mord.

Elena Weaver udstrålede intelligens og seksualitet med sine små kjoler og skinnende smykker. Som studerende på St. Stephen’s College i Cambridge levede Elena et liv fuld af tilfældige, lidenskabelige og intense forhold; et liv fuld af mellemværender, som skulle afgøres, og mål, som skulle opnås. En morgen, da Elena var ude på sin sædvanlige løbetur langs floden Cam, blev hun tæsket til døde af en person, der havde ligget på lur ved flodbredden.

Dennis y Eve mantuvieron una fugaz y pasional relación años atrás, cuando ninguno de los dos imaginaba el rumbo que tomarían sus vidas. Ahora, cuando ambos han guardado en estricto secreto la existencia de la niña y se enfrentan despiadadamente en la arena política, el secuestrador exige algo de consecuencias desastrosas: si quiere recuperar a su hija, Dennis deberá admitir públicamente, en la primera plana del periódico, su paternidad.

"San José no está." Esta fue la reflexión del sacerdote anglicano ante el cuadro "La Virgen con el Niño", de Leonardo, expresión quizá de aspiraciones insatisfechas que encontraron en Deborah St. James, con su maternidad frustrada, una oyente receptiva. Algún tiempo más tarde, el sacerdote muere –envenenamiento accidental, según la investigación– en su vicaría de Lancashire, poco antes de la llegada de Deborah y su marido Simon. Varios son los enigmas que rodean el caso: ¿quién es la mujer sin pasado en cuya casa tomó el vicario su postrera cena?

Deborah, la mujer del mejor amigo del inspector Thomas Lynley, descubre el cadáver desnudo y con señales de tortura de un joven estudiante. Todas las sospechas conducen a Bredgar Chambers, un viejo y sombrío internado. Allí, Lynley descubrirá una enrarecida atmósfera de frustración, desarraigo y soterrada perversidad entre estudiantes. Pero, esencialmente, descubrirá que todo ello puede resolverse de un plumazo con el asesinato o el suicidio.

A Elena la asesinaron mientras hacía footing uni neblinosa mañana de Cambridge. Dejó un vacío entre quienes la conocían –todos deseaban lo mejor para ella– y su muerte se convirtió en un engorro para las autoridades académicas, que además estaban en pésimas relaciones con la policía local. El recurso a Scotland Yard era inevitable, y con él, la presencia del inspector Lynley y la sargento Havers.

El Inspector Lynley, Deborah y sus amigos Helen y Simon pasan unos días en la casa familiar del primero, en Cornualles. Su visita coincide con un hecho que perturba la placidez de la vida pueblerina: el asesinato y castración de Mick Cambrey, un conocido donjuán local. Su muerte, y la posterior de Justin Brooke, biólogo y novio de la hermana de Simon, parecen deberse a las drogas. Pero la investigación de Lynley y Simon desvelará un universo de ambiciones más oscuras, más implacables.
