"Tankeväckande, spännande och som vanligt gediget arbete av en av de stora deckardrottningarna" Sundsvalls Tidning

”en mycket nöjsam och närmast beroendeframkallande läsning" BTJ

I en slumrande del av Cornwall påträffas smyckestillverkaren Michael Lobb död på golvet i sin familjs gamla tennverkstad. Kriminalkommissarie Beatrice Hannaford blir tilldelad fallet och inser snart att det är mer komplicerat än man kan tro. För visst är det anmärkningsvärt att hans kropp hittades av en representant från Cornwall EcoMining, ett företag som länge varit intresserat av att köpa delar av hans mark för att kunna utvinna litium. Dessutom är den döde majoritetsägare i familjeföretaget och det enda hindret för att Cornwall EcoMining ska kunna ro affären i hamn. Snart blir det uppenbart att det är många i offrets närhet som har något att vinna på Michaels död. Bea börjar undra om inte alla i familjen är inblandade på ett eller annat sätt.

Av en tillfällighet befinner sig Thomas Lynley och Barbara Havers på Lynleys familjeegendom i Cornwall. På omvägar får de höra talas om fallet, men att börja nysta i trassliga relationer på landsbygden visar sig vara väldigt komplicerat. Särskilt som det är flera personer som inte vill att sanningen kommer fram.

Sanningen har inget slut är den 22:a romanen om Elizabeth Georges älskade karaktärer Thomas Lynley och Barbara Havers.

Michael Lobb has just been found dead on the floor of his family’s tin & pewter workshop. It’s suspicious enough that his body was found by a representative of Cornwall EcoMining, a company keen on acquiring his family’s land, and it’s made even worse when he’s revealed to have been the majority owner of the business and the sole obstacle preventing a deal from being made. But it doesn’t take long for Inspector Beatrice Hannaford to unearth the layers of estrangement that surrounded Michael in his final days, pointing suspicions elsewhere. In comes Kayla, a young woman half Michaels’ age, who has just been made a widow. Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers are brought in to help solve the crime and search for justice amid a community that already trusts no one and fears any outsiders.

When a police detective is taken off life support after falling into a coma, only an autopsy reveals the murderous act that precipitated her death. She'd been working on a special task force within North London's Nigerian community, and Acting Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley is assigned to the case, which has far-reaching cultural associations that have nothing to do with life as he knows it. In his pursuit of a killer determined to remain hidden, he's assisted by Detective Sergeants Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata. They must sort through the lies and the secret lives of people whose superficial cooperation masks the damage they do to one another.
