A Traitor to Memory

A Page-Turning Mystery Featuring Thomas Lynley, now appearing on BBC1 and iPlayer
The tenth novel in the best-selling Inspector Lynley mystery series

The tenth novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC's Lynley

Twenty-eight-year-old virtuoso violinist Gideon Davies has lost not only his memory of music but also his ability to play the instrument he mastered as a five-year-old prodigy. All he can remember is a single name: Sonia.

Then, one rainy evening, Gideon's mother Eugenie travels to London for a mysterious appointment. But before she is able to reach her destination, she is struck down and killed on a quiet street.

In pursuing Eugenie's killer, Lynley and Havers come to know a group of people whose lives are inextricably connected by a long-ago death, a trial, and a prison sentence handed down as retribution for a crime no one has spoken of for twenty years.
