Description
A Place of Hiding by Elizabeth George The sudden death of Guy Brouard after his morning swim has sent shockwaves through the residents of Guernsey. A generous patron and benefactor, his demise raises questions about many cherished projects he had undertaken since his arrival on the island a decade ago. When a young American woman is charged with the murder, her brother turns to Deborah St James for help. Deborah's old friend has been arrested, and she convinces her husband Simon to accompany her to Guernsey to ensure a miscarriage of justice does not occur. As they delve into the case, they uncover a tangled web of deceit and betrayal that originated during wartime occupation. In solving the crime, Deborah and Simon must rely on their long-standing friendship with Inspector Lynley, while also confronting painful lessons about loyalty and trust, as well as the loving tyranny of family ties.
