Description
When Rodney Williams vanishes, Chief Inspector Wexford initially treats it as the kind of scandal that seems to happen in small towns—an ordinary flight of a man with another woman. But as the investigation draws him into the lives of the five Wren families of East Anglia, what looks like a private matter begins to reveal a darker pattern of violence and betrayal. With Burden at his side, Wexford follows shifting loyalties, unsettling secrets, and the quiet pressures of community life, uncovering how easily affection can mask cruelty. Rendell’s sharp, psychologically driven style turns a seemingly straightforward disappearance into a chilling study of motive, moral compromise, and the unsettling ways danger can nestle within the familiar.
