HTML:An isolated beach on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel is the scene of the murder of Guy Brouard, one of Guernseyâ??s wealthiest inhabitants and its main benefactor. Forced as a child to flee the Nazis in Paris, Brouard was engaged in his latest project when he died: a museum in honor of those who resisted the German occupation of the island during World War II.
It is from this period of time that his murderer may well have come. But there are others on Guernsey with reason to want Guy Brouard dead: his wives, his business associates, his current mistress, the underprivileged teenagers he mentoredâ??any of whom might have harbored a secret motive for murder.

In A Place of Hiding, bestselling novelist Elizabeth George marks new territory in the darker landscapes of human relationships. She tells a gripping, suspenseful story of betrayal and devotion, war and remembrance, love and loss...and the higher truths to which we must all ult… (mehr)
(2003)Another very good/well written mystery. Simon & Deborah St. James try to figure out who killed a Guernsey Islander when her best friend from California is implicated. Lynley makes cameo, the St. James's are main guys in this one. Turns out her friend was murderer and she blows herself up in the end.
Deborah St James is verbijsterd wanneer ze op een stormachtige avond de broer van een oude vriendin uit Amerika op haar stoep aantreft. Helemaal wanneer hij haar vertelt dat zijn zus op het Engelse kanaaleiland Guersney is opgepakt wegens moord.
Ottimo romanzo, che stavolta ha come protagonisti St.James e la moglie Deborah. Non un capolavoro della George ma nemmeno un flop come alcuni altri suoi recenti lavori. ( )
