Description
A young woman, Anita Margolis, vanishes after leaving home for a party on a wet evening, leaving only unsettling clues and a growing sense that something far more sinister is at work. When Detective Chief Inspector Wexford receives an anonymous letter alleging that “Ann” has been killed by a small, dark young man named Geoff, the case shifts from disappearance to possible murder—yet the truth refuses to settle into a simple pattern. As Wexford and his team follow shifting testimonies and hidden motives, the investigation exposes the fragile boundaries between appearance and reality, and the ways ordinary lives can be quietly derailed by obsession, deception, and fear. With Ruth Rendell’s sharp psychological insight and tightly constructed suspense, this is a chilling study of how violence can emerge from the most unexpected corners of everyday life.
