ynopsis

In a psychiatric clinic late one night, the piercing scream of a dying woman shatters the calm, and Superintendent Dalgliesh is called away from his literary soiree to investigate. He soon finds the body of a patient sprawled across the cold basement floor, a chisel driven mercilessly through her heart; and so marks the beginning of a deadly psychological battle with an intellectual, predatory killer who feels no remorse, no regret and no self control over his darker impulses...

Reception

"With discernment, depth and craftsmanship, A Mind to Murder is a superbly satisfying mystery." - "Chicago Daily News" [http://www.powells.com/biblio?isbn=9780743219587]
