This is a complete and unabridged reading of P.D. James' bestselling novel. A secluded island off the Cornish coast, renowned for its history of bloody piracy, has become a retreat for under-pressure men and women in the upper echelons of society. But when one of their number is murdered in a grotesque fashion (his body found on the eponymous lighthouse), Adam Dalgliesh is requested to solve the case. 'All the beauty of P D James' prose, with its rich cadences and even richer imagery, is beautifully delivered in this full-length audio CD of one of the most satisfying of her recent novels' - "Chichester Observer". 'Michael Jayston does an excellent job of breathing life into Adam Dalgliesh' - "Daily Express".
