The veneer of respectability cloaking the Steen Psychiatric Clinic in London is shattered when the administrative head is found dead, a chisel in her heart. Scotland Yard's Superintendent Adam Dalgliesh is on the scene, investigating, delving into the deep-seated anxieties of patients and staff to uncover a killer amidst drug use and deception. Dalgliesh has to unravel tangled secrets to halt the murderer before they strike again.
