Product Details

a psychological thriller written by Ruth Rendell (sometimes associated with her Barbara Vine pseudonym style) focused on a serial killer in London who garrotes women and steals mementos. The story centers on Inez Ferry, a widow running an antique shop near Marylebone, and her motley tenants. When the killer's tokens appear in her shop, suspicion falls on her eccentric tenants, and the tension builds towards a psychological, rather than purely procedural, resolution.
