The Sound of Broken Glass - Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James, Bk 15
Author: Deborah Crombie
In the past . . . â On a blisteringly hot August afternoon in Crystal Palace, once home to the tragically destroyed Great Exhibition, a solitary thirteen-year-old boy meets his next-door neighbor, a recently widowed young teacher. Drawn together by loneliness, the unlikely pair forms a deep connection that ends in a shattering act of betrayal.

In the present . . .

On a cold January morning in London, Detective Inspector Gemma James is back on the job now that her husband, Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid, is at home on childcare leave. Assigned to lead a Murder Investigation Team, her first case is a bizarre crime at a seedy hotel in South London's Crystal Palace. The victim: a well-respected barrister. Gemma, with Duncan's help, must delve into a case with unexpected and frightening consequences for those close to them.
