He goes home to Cornwall. The only way he can deal with his painful memories is to hike the trails over the cliffs of the Cornish coast. There, on the forty-third day of his walk, he finds the lifeless body of a young man, dead from a fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus begins a quest to unmask a clever and ruthless murderer. But this time, Lynley’s not in charge. He’s a witness—and possibly even a suspect. The vastly understaffed local copper in charge of the investigation soon figures out that Lynley can help. So can his former associate Barbara Havers, whom Scotland Yard sends to Cornwall, ostensibly to assist in the investigation, but unofficially to keep an eye on Lynley and maybe lure him back to his job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“One of the most powerful, beautifully nuanced and honest novels to appear in ages. . . .

When it does, this time most readers will be smiling.”\u003cbr\u003e“Will make new readers instant fans who will then be tempted to read all of George’s Lynley novels.”\u003cbr\u003e“One of George’s best books in years. . . . George plays the cross-eddies of a dozen or so characters, making each so vivid. . . . The return is to be immersed in a small village in Cornwall in which everyone’s life becomes an open book.”\u003cbr\u003e“A tale of fathers and son, of revenge served cold, and perhaps, of the perfect crime. But at its heart, it’s a meditation on the importance of fighting every day for even a single, tiny scrap of redemption.”\u003cbr\u003e“Readers who value writing that is intelligent, surprising, sexy, funny, compassionate and wise should find \u003cem\u003eCareless in Red\u003c\/em\u003e a delight.”\u003cbr\u003e“As is her wont, George will wrench your heart and return it enriched.”\u003cbr\u003e“Stick with \u003cem\u003eCareless in Red\u003c\/em\u003e for the deftly drawn local characters, the alluring descriptions of Cornish country and custom, and for a fiendishly clever surprising ending.”\u003cbr\u003e“Elizabeth George’s \u003cem\u003eCareless in Red\u003c\/em\u003e is a mystery wrapped in a psychological enigma, which has become true to form for Ms. George....the classic scene of her favorite detective team probing the whys and hows of violent death, yet she has put a twist in that trail....It’s a chaotic and fascinating mix of the kind of which Ms. George excels and she manages to tantalize the reader....Ms. George has outdone herself.”\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eCareless in Red\u003c\/em\u003e is no mere whodunnit.
