Klappentext zu „Shroud for a Nightingale “
**NOW A MAJOR CHANNEL 5 SERIES**'The Queen of Crime.' New York Times
'[P.D James had] huge humanity and she really took on social issues. Had she been alive today she'd have been a huge commentator in the culture wars debate.' Bertie Carvel, on playing Dalgliesh
When secrets get out, no one is safe . . .
On a crisp January morning, a group of third year nursing students gathers early for a clinical lesson. They have no idea that they are about to witness the gruesome murder of one of their classmates.
Before the month is over, another student turns up dead, this time of an apparent suicide. But could these deaths be connected? Superintendent Adam Dalgleish thinks so. Though the motive is carefully obscured by a web of secrets, blackmail, and lies, he is determined to uncover the truth - before the killer can strike again.
'Plenty of scrupulously laid false trails, credible detectives and a totally unexpected ending.' Sunday Telegraph
'James manages a depth and intelligence that few in her trade can match.' The Times
