What is The discourtesy of death [ALP]. 5, Father Anslem about?

484 pages (large print) ; 24 cm An anonymous letter sent to Larkwood's Prior accuses Peter Henderson, an academic celebrity renowned for daring ideas, of a grotesque murder: the calculated killing of Jenny, his disabled partner, believed by everyone to have died peacefully two years previously from a sudden attack of cancer. But for this letter there is no evidence, no suspect and no crime. Time has moved on. Lives have been rebuilt. Grief and loss are tempered by a comforting thought: a paralysed woman, once an acclaimed dancer, had died quickly and painlessly, spared a drawn out illness; a life marked by agonising misfortune had come to a merciful end. But now Anselm has been told the truth behind the soothing lie. And so Anselm begins his most delicate investigation yet, unaware that Jenny's adoring father is capable of anything and that he has set out to execute Peter Henderson Standard print edition originally published: London : Little, Brown and Company, 2013
