โฆ Synopsis
The second book to feature Scotland Yard investigator Adam Dalgliesh, A Mind To Murder is a superbly satisfying mystery (Chicago Daily News) from bestselling author P.D. James.
On the surface, the Steen Psychiatric Clinic is one of the most reputable institutions in London. But when the administrative head is found dead with a chisel in her heart, that distinguished facade begins to crumble as the truth emerges. Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard is called in to investigate and quickly finds himself caught in a whirlwind of psychiatry, drugs, and deceit. Now he must analyze the deep-seated anxieties and thwarted desires of patients and staff alike to determine which of their unresolved conflicts has resulted in murder and stop a cunning killer before the next blow.
The terrifying truth about an eminent psychiatric clinic comes out when the administrative head is found horribly murdered. And in an explosive atmosphere of psychiatry, sex, and drugs, Dalgliesh has the uneviable task of finding a killer out to prove that the first murder was no Freudian slip. Reissue.
