A classic thriller from the queen of crime Barbara Vine.
Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, CBE (née
Grasemann; born 17 February 1930), is an English author of
thrillers and psychological murder mysteries.
Rendell's best-known creation, Chief Inspector Wexford, is the hero
of many popular police stories, some of them successfully adapted
for TV. But Rendell has also generated a separate brand of
crime-fiction that explores deeply into the psychological
background of criminals and their victims, many of them mentally
afflicted or otherwise socially isolated. This theme is developed
further in a third series of novels, written under her pseudonym
Barbara Vine. William Gaminara was born in 1956. He was brought up
in Lusaka, Zambia, then Northern Rhodesia. In England as a child,
he attended Winchester College and Lincoln College, Oxford before
becoming an actor. Although he has penned episodes of television
dramas such as This Life, he is probably best known for three
different doctors: Dr Richard Locke in radio's The Archers, on
television as Dr Andrew Bower in Casualty and the ill-fated
pathologist Leo Dalton in Silent Witness.
"An absolute winner ... a gripping read from start to end"
*The Daily Mail*
"Brilliant. Vine has the kind of near-Victorian narrative drive ...
that compels a reader to go on turning the pages."
*The Sunday Times*
