Twenty-eight-year-old virtuoso violinist Gideon Davies has lost not only his memory of music but also his ability to play the instrument he mastered as a five-year-old prodigy. All he can remember is a single name: Sonia.
Then, one rainy evening, Gideon's mother Eugenie travels to London for a mysterious appointment. But before she is able to reach her destination, a car swoops out of nowhere and kills her in the street.
In pursuing Eugenie's killer, Lynley and Havers come to know a group of people whose lives are inextricably connected by a long-ago death, a trial, and a prison sentence handed down as retribution for a crime no one has spoken of for twenty years.
An einem regnerischen Abend wird eine Frau in London überfahren. Es handelt sich eindeutig um Mord. Bei ihren Ermittlungen sehen sich Inspector Lynley und Barbara Havers bald einem düsteren Familiendrama gegenüber, in dem überzogener Ehrgeiz, falsch verstandene Liebe und verzweifelte Lügen bereits vor zwanzig Jahren tödliche Konsequenzen hatten. Und sie erleben verblüfft, dass man sie von höchster Stelle aus bei ihren Recherchen zu behindern sucht. Doch Lynley und Havers lassen sich davon nicht beirren...
