Inspector Adam Dalgliesh Series 5 Books Collection Set by P. D. James

Description

A Mind to MurderSuperintendent Adam Dalgliesh has never failed to solve a case. When he is called to the scene of a gruesome murder at a psychiatry clinic in London, he finds it in lockdown: no one has entered or left the building since the discovery of the body. So, it figures, the culprit must be amongst the people before him. As Dalgliesh quickly discovers, however, the intricate web of lies and grudges among the staff and patients at the Steen Clinic cast confusing shadows. Amid all that deceit, could the killer be preparing to strike again?
Unnatural CausesBattered by the conclusion of a particularly brutal murder case in London, Superintendent Adam Dalgleish decides to escape to the countryside for a hard-earned break. But before long, the discovery of the mutilated body of a local crime writer sends shock waves through the small town of Monksmere, where Dalgliesh is staying. Faced with such a macabre crime, Dalgleish feels compelled to join the investigation – but as he delves into the dead man’s secrets, the case seems poised to take another murderous turn. . .
Shroud for a NightingaleOn a crisp January morning, a group of third year nursing students gathers early for a clinical lesson. They have no idea that they are about to witness the gruesome murder of one of their classmates. Before the month is over, another student turns up dead, this time of an apparent suicide. But could these deaths be connected? Superintendent Adam Dalgleish thinks so. Though the motive is carefully obscured by a web of secrets, blackmail, and lies, he is determined to uncover the truth – before the killer can strike again.
Cover Her FaceWhen the body of Sally Jupp is discovered in her bedroom – the door bolted from the inside – the occupants of Martingale house are sure that the blame for this unthinkable crime will fall on an unknown intruder. But each of them is hiding something. And there’s only one man who can sift through the layers of deceit and pretence to unmask the true murderer: Detective Chief-Inspector Adam Dalgleish.
The Black Tower
Commander Dalgliesh is recuperating from a life-threatening illness when he receives a call for advice from an elderly friend who works as a chaplain in a home for the disabled on the Dorset coast. Dalgliesh arrives to discover that Father Baddeley has recently and mysteriously died, as has one of the patients at Toynton Grange. Evidently the home is not quite the caring community it purports to be. Dalgliesh is determined to discover the truth of his friend’s death, but further fatalities follow and his own life is in danger as he unmasks the evil at the heart of Toynton Grange.
