JUST ONE EVIL ACT #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George delivers another masterpiece of suspense in her Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story that tests Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers like never before.     Barbara is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can™t really help—Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn™t on Hadiyyah™s, their daughter™s, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold.     Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won™t get involved, until Barbara takes matters into her own hands — at the risk of her own career.      As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation.  With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far she™s willing to go to protect it.
