Amazon.com description: Product Description: When the body of a theology student is found on a desolate stretch of East Anglian coast, his wealthy father demands that Scotland Yard should re-examine the verdict of accidental death. Commander Adam Dalgliesh agrees to pay a visit to the young man's theological college, St Anselm's, a place he knew as a boy, expecting no more than a nostalgic return to old haunts and a straightforward examination of the evidence. Instead he finds himself embroiled in intrigue, conflict and dangerous secrets as the college is torn apart by a sacrilegious and horrifying murder..."Beautifully-written...consummately plotted". ("Observer"). ""Death in Holy Orders" is pure pleasure". ("Spectator"). "Michael Jayston does an excellent job of breathing life into Adam Dalgliesh". "Daily Express". This is a suspenseful story of murder in a clerical college from bestselling author P.D. James, read by Michael Jayston.
