A Slowly Dying Cause follows the violent death of Michael Lobb, discovered in his family's historic tin and pewter workshop in Cornwall, where a mining company had been pressuring him to sell the land he owned as the sole obstacle to the deal. Detective Inspector Beatrice Hannaford leads the initial investigation, uncovering layers of family estrangement, mistrust, deception, and cryptic alibis amid a community wary of outsiders, drawing in Detectives Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers from Scotland Yard to navigate the tangled motives involving lust, avarice, and generational traditions in tin mining. As the probe reveals Lobb's complex personal life—including a young widow and shifting suspicions—the narrative explores the messy intersections of obligation and desire, culminating in a search for justice in a landscape of hidden truths and emotional nuance.
