The quiet, confident atmosphere of Bredgar Chambers School is shattered by the discovery of the body of one of its pupils in a country churchyard.
Who murdered the brilliant boy and why?
How did his body get from the school to the distant churchyard?
What other secrets are hidden behind the school gates?
Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, find their investigations hampered by the code of honour and loyalty that prevail in the old and distinguished public school. But they discover within the confines of this privileged community a culture of cruelty that stretches back across the generations.

'A fine and powerful novel sure to delight readers in the mood for a thought-provoking, hard-hitting mystery'

Horrible and tragic. The best one so far!
Their third case brings them to a school for rich kids. The divers, yet mostly unlikeable characters and the myriads of dark secrets waiting there left me disgusted and horrified. This case leads in so many totally different directions that I still hadn't the faintest clue til the very end. And yet, everything, every little detail that was mentioned at some point in the story, was important in the end and turned out being a clue all along. To me, this one's by far the best one in the Lynley series so far and so very, very tragic. Every time I picked up the book, I didn't want to know what happened, because it had to be horrible, and every time I couldn't stop, because I just needed to know!
