| Martha Grimes Unabridged CD 10 Hours
When an old friend pulls Richard Jury into the investigation of a wealthy
bachelor's murder, Jury's not sure what's more perplexing: the circumstances of
the fellow's death, the conflicted stories of the man's past, or the motivations
of the case's lead detective, the beautiful and forbidding Lu Aguilar.
What Jury is sure of is that he's in over his head, both with the inscrutable
and challenging Aguilar and the false leads surround the once-charismatic Billy
Maples, last seen in a club named Dust.
A web of clues draws Jury to trendy Clerkenwell galleries, clubs, and hotels,
to the dark stories behind Maples's family, and to the Sussex town of Rye, where
Billy had temporarily taken up the tenancy of Lamb House, the the charming home
where Henry James composed his three masterworks . . . a place with secrets of
its own. With Melrose Plant's investigation Lamb House, with Aguilar's
interceding, and with Jury's closing in on a mysterious young cousin of Maples's
Scotland Yard's finest - and now infamous - will need every bit of his
intelligence and quiet charm to crack the case. |
