But this is no publicity stunt, and tensions intensify when further graffiti is found near the body of a university lecturer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartha is not the only one to have doubts when the suspicious death is assumed by police to be a suicide. Called upon to lend their linguistic expertise to the case, she and her colleagues begin to unearth a tragedy that extends beyond the ancient walls of the university. As new messages portend more death, it's clear that a spirit of vengeance is stalking the city's streets, and may be reaching out towards them too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eGUILTY BY DEFINITION\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Astonishingly clever'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE GUARDIAN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Will delight anyone who appreciates fine crime writing'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE TIMES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'One of the finest mysteries I have ever read'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eROB RINDER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Huge fun and beautifully written'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGYLES BRANDRETH\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A tantalising mystery'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJANICE HALLETT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Genuinely page-turning'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLALINE PAULL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuilty by Definition \u003c\/i\u003e(book 1) was a \u003ci\u003eSunday Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller August 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dent, Susie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56748449137026,"sku":"9781804187241","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6575\/5522\/files\/9781804187241.jpg?v=1783089591","url":"https:\/\/archwaybookshop.co.uk\/products\/death-writ-large-signed-copy","provider":"Archway Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
