Summary
Disc 9. The seed of cunning: Lynley and Havers are assigned to a new case back in London, following the discovery of a body floating in the Thames. The victim, Eric Ramsey, was a doorkeeper at the House of Lords. On closer inspection, it appears that he has been savagely beaten, having had his hands tied behind his back. Initially, it looks as if the murder may be connected to Ramsey's gambling debts, but when a Clerk at the House of Lords is also murdered, events seem to point to a wider conspiracy involving stolen documents. The word of God: Lynley and Havers are called to Smithfields Market, where the body of a man has been found frozen inside a meat truck. The victim is carrying a forged British passport and a parchment covered in Arabic script. The page turns out to be part of an immensely valuable ancient golden Koran, more than enough motive for murder. Disc 10. Natural causes: While Lynley is suspended, pending the outcome of his disciplinary hearing, Havers teams up with a different Detective Inspector, Fiona Knight, to investigate the drowning of a young woman in her car. One guilty deed: Lynley is reinstated, and he, Havers, and their colleague Detective Constable Winston Nkata are trying to catch a crime boss. But when their star witness is found shot dead at Havers' childhood holiday retreat, she becomes convinced that cracking a twenty-year-od unsloved murder involving a local child will provide answers to both murders
