Description
The young women of Nightingale House are there to learn to nurse and comfort the suffering. But when one of the students plays patient in a demonstration of nursing skills, she is horribly, brutally killed.
Another student dies equally mysteriously, and it is up to Adam Dalgliesh to unmask a killer who has decided to prescribe murder as the cure for all ills.
Shroud for a Nightingale by P. D. James is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense, where the stakes are as high as the secrets concealed within the walls of this seemingly serene institution.
