Editorial Review:
Description:
A complex web of lies, murder, international drug trafficking and passion.
Scotland Yard’s Adam Dalgliesh is called in to investigate the murder of a drug dealer found strangled in the basement of a respectable London book club. His key witness in the case turns out to beautiful young single mother, Sally Jupp, on a day visit to London to 'introduce' her eight-week-old son to former employers and co-workers at the book club.
The investigation switches back and forth between the urban drug scene, where one detective has already been killed, and the country residence of the socially conscious Maxie family, where the recently employed young woman has made more enemies than friends.
As mysterious deaths pile up, Dalgliesh is immersed in a sea of suspects, aggressive, evasive answers and deeply hidden motives.

Roy Marsden returns as Scotland Yard's Adam Dalgliesh in a richly plotted mystery from P.D. James. Dalgliesh and his team are investigating an international drug ring when a major player turns up dead. The only witness, pretty single mother Sally Jupp, turns out to have some dark secrets of her own. Cover Her Face is an immensely entertaining mystery. The characters lead rich emotional lives, it seems like all of them and none of them could have done it, and the solution is genuinely satisfying. As is always the case in this series, the cast is excellent and Roy Marsden is a standout. His Dalgliesh is a beautifully subtle blend of cold manipulation and a poet's humanity. DVD special features includes career and awards highlights for author P.D. James, a biography of Roy Marsden, and information about the gorgeous old house used in the production. --Ali Davis
