After publication of his book of poetry, Adam Dalgliesh escapes from the hubbub of London for a remote Norfolk headland and the converted windmill his aunt left him. But Dalgliesh cannot so easily escape from murder. In Norfolk, a deranged killer prowls the countryside, holding tranquility hostage. Murders proliferate. Is there a connection with the nuclear power station? Not far from it, the killer has left his victims, all women, strangled. Dalgliesh suspects his own neck is very exposed.
