Un nuevo clásico de la gran dama del crimen.

Nada le hace presagiar que no saldra con vida de Cheverell Manor. El inspector Adam Dalgliesh y su equipo se encargaran del caso. Pronto toparan con un segundo asesinato, y tendran que afrontar problemas mucho mas complejos que la cuestion de la inocencia o la culpabilidad. Muerte en la clinica privada es la decimocuarta novela protagonizada por el inspector Adam Dalgliesh, en una trama excelente y verosimil, con personajes muy reales dotados de gran personalidad psicologica.

Un crimen enigmático y perturbador lleva a la pacífica casa de la señora Maxie al inspector Dalgleish; ¿acaso la dócil y graciosa Sally Jupp, la nueva ayudante de la cocinera, no es tan inocente como sugiere su aspecto apocado? Edicion de bolsillo.
