A Traitor to Memory

When Eugenie Davies is killed by a driver on a quiet London street, her death is clearly no accident. Someone struck her with a car and then deliberately ran over her body, leaving nothing behind but questions. What brought her to London that night? Why was she carrying the name of the man who found her body? Who could have wanted her dead? And could her murder have some connection to a twenty-eight-year-old musical wunderkind, a virtuoso violinist, who several months earlier suddenly and inexplicably lost the ability to play a single note? For Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, these questions are only the first in an investigation that leads him to walk a fine line between personal loyalty and professional honor.
