A case of revenge, or something more sinister? Nicola Maiden and Gerard Cole have been murdered while camping in the bucolic countryside of northern England. Complicating matters for the local constabulary is Nicola's father, Andy Maiden, a recently retired detective. Calling in Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker) is the obvious solution.

Setting out without his recently demoted partner Barbara Havers (Sharon Small), Lynley soon finds himself overloaded with suspects. But Andy is convinced his daughter's death is a case of revenge. The former detective put away many criminals during his days on the force, which lends credence to his hunch--and gives Lynley the perfect excuse for summoning Havers to help sort out the mystery. It also gives Havers the opportunity she needs to redeem herself in the eyes of her longtime partner.

All is not as clear as it seems to Andy, however. Was Nicola as beloved and innocent as her father believes? What is her mother hiding? Could her boyfriend, or his drunk of a father, be involved?

Based on the best-selling novel by Elizabeth George, In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner offers a tangled web of deceit and intrigue, plus a powerful twist.
