Devices and Desires
By PD James
Synopsis
A serial killer of women is on the loose in a remote area of the Norfolk coast.
Overshadowing the bleak landscape and the lives of the local community is the Larksoken nuclear power station, run by the charismatic Alex Mair. Commander Adam Dalgliesh, who is staying at his aunt's converted windmill, becomes involved in the hunt for the murderer, a search that implicates him in the concerns and dangerous secrets of the headland community. And then one moonlit night it becomes chillingly apparent that the mass murderer isn't the only killer at work in Larksoken.
'Another magnificent achievement ... a compelling human drama that will keep your phone off the hook for days' - Kate Saunders in the Evening Standard
'Like the wind-lashed Norfolk headland buffeted by the sea, which is so tangily evoked, Devices and Desires always has an intensely bracing chill to its atmosphere' - Peter Kemp in the Sunday Times
