Careless in Red
By Elizabeth George
640 pages. Harper.

In Careless in Red (Harper), Elizabeth George plucks grieving widower Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley from the edge of an emotional cliff—but why did a young climber plunge to his death, and is that delightfully remote Cornwall cottage for rent?
