Careless in Red by Elizabeth George

"Perhaps it was something that got into one's blood: the intellectual excitement of the puzzle of the crime and the physical excitement of the chase." Inspector Lynley creator Elizabeth George picks up the series after a horrific tragedy has devastated the inspector. Lynley has left the force and taken up a different path--literally. He has walked miles of the Cornwall coast only to discover the body of a young man. Layers of sons and fathers; mothers and daughters; lovers and avengers tangle and untangle Lynley's fractured psyche. A lengthy, involving read--and imagining PBS Lynley incarnate Nathaniel Parker moving through this complicated ruse is half the fun! Hopefully, the television adaptation is on the way...
