Description
When a car bombing leaves Chief Inspector Wexford injured, he must lean on Detective Mike Burden to pursue a case that initially looks like a murder without motive. As the investigation unfolds, the calm surface of a suburban neighborhood gives way to a web of secrets, resentments, and private lives that refuse to stay neatly hidden. Rendell’s sharp psychological eye turns the search for a killer into a study of how ordinary people rationalize their darkest impulses. With the steady momentum of classic police procedure and the unsettling depth of character-driven suspense, this Inspector Wexford entry delivers a chilling reminder that the truth is often veiled—not absent.
