The Private Patient


P.D.James

When the notorious investigative journalist Rhoda Gradwyn booked into Mr. Chandler-Powell's private clinic in Dorset for the removal of a disfiguring and long-standing facial scar, she had every prospect of a successful operation by a distinguished surgeon, a week's peaceful convalescence in one of Dorset's most beautiful manor houses and the beginning of a new life. she was never to leave Cheverell Manor alive. Dalgliesh and his team, called in to investigate the mrder, and later a second death, are confronted with problems even more complicated than the question of innocence or guilt. -- book jacket
