All he can remember is a single name: Sonia.<br><br>Then, one rainy evening, Gideon's mother Eugenie travels to London for a mysterious appointment. But before she is able to reach her destination, she is struck down and killed on a quiet street.<br><br>In pursuing Eugenie's killer, Lynley and Havers come to know a group of people whose lives are inextricably connected by a long-ago death, a trial, and a prison sentence handed down as retribution for a crime no one has spoken of for twenty years.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>A Traitor to Memory</i></b><br><br><b>'Absorbing . . .
