Join Adam Dalgliesh as he takes up residence in a cottage left to him by his late, eccentric aunt. The Scotland Yard Commander wants nothing more than a quiet escape. But on this lonely stretch of coastline, a serial killer called "The Whistler" has been strangling local women while whistling a hymn. When Dalgliesh reluctantly involves himself in the case, he discovers that more than one killer is at work, and races to end the bloodbath.
