Series Summary
The series is set in modern-day England and are very much in the P.D. James British tradition. Lynley is a blue-blooded Scotland Yard Inspector. Besides being a detective, he's also the eighth Earl of Asherton, driving a vintage car - a Bristol 410. The number of Bristol 410s were built is 79. They're rarer than 007's Aston Martin DB5, of which there were 1.021. His sergeant, Barbara Havers, is an unattractive 30-year-old woman from a troubled home on the wrong side of the tracks and she can't stand being assigned to work with Lynley. Over the course of the series they gain a grudging respect for each other.

Nathaniel Parker was born in London, England on May 18, 1962. He is the youngest child of the late Sir Peter Parker, a former chairman of British Rail and retired GP, Lady Jill Parker.
