Title: Death of an Expert - PD James - book
Summary :
A village in the Fens, in the southeast of England. Marshes, rain, the discovery of a woman's corpse... The next day, Professor Lorrimer, head of the biology department of a forensic science laboratory, is found murdered in his office, with all doors closed. Through an extremely meticulous investigation among the medical staff, Commander Dalgliesh will unravel the tangle of passions and resentments and uncover mysteries where sex and superstition mingle, far from scientific rationality. Heightened feelings, extraordinarily detailed psychological truth: the author of Murder in an Armchair and A Certain Taste for Death (Grand Prix de Littérature policier 1988) draws us once again into an ambiguous and disturbing nightmare.
