Author
Elizabeth George
Elizabeth George is the American author of the Inspector Lynley novels, a London-set police procedural series that runs more than twenty books deep and reads more like long-form literary fiction than standard CID procedural. The Anglophilia is total, the prose is patient, and the Lynley-Havers partnership is one of the great pairings in modern crime fiction.

A Moment on the Edge : 100 Years of Crime Stories by Women
