Description
When a seemingly routine bank robbery turns fatal, Chief Inspector Wexford is drawn into a far darker case that culminates in the brutal massacre of a prominent family at Tancred House. Seventeen-year-old Daisy Flory survives—yet her testimony and the tangled lives around her suggest that the violence is only the surface of something more intimate and unsettling. As Wexford follows the threads of motive, class, and long-buried resentment, he must also confront the emotional blind spots that shape how he sees people and how he chooses to act. Ruth Rendell’s razor-edged psychological realism and suspenseful, character-driven plotting make this a chilling exploration of guilt, desire, and the dangerous distance between public respectability and private truth.
