Chief Inspector Wexford and his colleague Inspector Burden find a most unsavory case on their hands—and must use all their wit and wisdom to solve it . . .
“Undoubtedly one of the best writers of English mysteries and chiller-killer plots.”—Los Angeles Times
“You cannot afford to miss Ruth Rendell.”—The New York Times Book Review
“For readers who have almost given up mysteries . . . Rendell may be just the woman to get them started again.”—Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine
